• Men of Virginia to the Rescue! 1861 Recruitment Broadside - recruitment poster for volunteers for the Virginia Forces.
• Butler's Proclamation 1862 - When Benjamin Butler's Union army occupied New Orleans, insults became weapons (one reportedly dropped the contents of a chamber pot on Admiral Farragut.) New Orleans women attacked the Union soldiers first and General Butler answered with Order No. 28, a proclamation stating that women who continued to insult the Union soldiers would be treated as if a prostitute. This broadside includes the text of Butler's Proclamation and an appeal to Southern men to avenge the outrageous insult to the women of New Orleans.
• Civil War Battlefield Map - shows 78 battlefield locations with chronological history - from the Confederacy's bombardment of Fort Sumter to the surrender at Appomattox Courthouse.
