Patriotic Civil War Ephemera: 7 ¼” x 4” ruled paper on which is drawn an unidentified regimental flag hand-colored red and blue with cannon, spear and glove. On front and back is written, “made by R. Ludy (?) for aDam Jackson udy (?) and when he git hit he tell him that his uncle Rance made hit for him Ransom Ludy (?) Adam jackson udy (?) / April the 25 Saturday eavning I am not rite well and I will make this to pleez the children.” File folds with a bit of separation. Unsure of soldier’s name and am probably not correctly identifying it. There is one Ransom Jackson (if that is the name) in the Confederate Army, a musician from North Carolina, and there are 3 Ransom Jacksons in the Union Army – from Indiana, Connecticut and New York. This piece came from a Georgia antique dealer but that does not prove provenance. He cited it as coming from documents relating to James F. Kendall of Stanly County, NC. Scarce wartime soldier drawing / folk art. LL $225.
