CIVIL WAR SURRENDER ORDER GUERRILLA WARFARE MAY 1865

Description: An original Civil War General Order, issued at the War Dept, Washington, DC, May 11, 1865 by Command of General Grant announcing that all enemy forces have surrendered East of the Mississippi River and henceforth any enemies found engaged in acts of hostility East of the Mississippi River will be executed as Guerrillas. 1p 8 x 5" ptd. 2 punch holes, edge wear, Overall VG. 800x600 General & Special Orders were issued to communicate commands and information to the Army. Each order, issued in writing by a command, was then printed for distribution to each unit, either at an army department headquarter or by commanders at local headquarters, sometimes in the field on portable printing presses. The orders were then issued to regiments, often to be read aloud to the troops. General Orders were printed as issued with date & location; at the end of a year the regimental adjutant might retain them loose or simply string bind them by punching holes and stringing on ¼” red cloth string tape (the source of the old expression "government red tape"). Sometimes an officer or HQ clerk might take a group of orders to a local print shop or bookbinder and have an accumulation bound with leather or cloth covers. Usually, American Military Orders of the 19th century including Civil War era were printed on an 8 x 5” sheet of quality rag paper.
