An 1861 Broadside issued and read by Brigadier General Ulysses S. Grant to the citizens of Paducah, Kentucky. Reading in part "I have come among you, not as an enemy, but as your friend and fellow-citizen, not to injure or annoy you, but to respect the rights, and to defend and enforce the rights of all loyal citizens". Housed between two plexiglass sheets. 11 3/4" H x 8 7/8" W. Note: The state of Kentucky declared itself neutral at the outbreak of the Civil War. When Confederate forces under General Polk occupied Columbus, Kentucky, General Grant made a counter-movement to occupy Paducah, Kentucky. He was stationed in Cairo, Illinois on the Ohio River about 45 miles away. Paducah, located on the Ohio River at the mouth of the Tennessee River, became a vital waterway for moving supplies for the Union for the remainder of the war. Grant and the Union troops occupied Paducah without firing a shot.
