The Army Needs Your Flour-- Part 1

From the August 15, 2013, UNC Library Civil War Day By Day.

From a broadside dated 15 August 1863.

"WHEAT AND FLOUR WANTED: Wanted any quantity of Wheat and Flour for the use of our army (Confederate) in Virginia. By instructions just received it is important that a large quantity of wheat and flour should be collected immediately.

"I therefore appeal to every man who has wheat or flour on hand, to sell it to me for the use of our soldiers."
