Small broadside, about 6 x 8 1/2, printed on one side, about ten partial lines of text, including title (Proclamation!). Minor toning, slight creasing, a little uneven, small margin on the left side, a couple of minor nicks; overall very good. While Kentucky may have been neutral at the start of the war, after the Confederates invaded the state, they turned toward the Union. This small broadside reminds people they needed to register with the "home guard." It also reminds people that failure to register will result in being disarmed. This order was passed under the threat of an impending invasion of Kentucky by General Braxton Bragg's Army of Tennessee. The broadside is signed in print by Major P. G. Bracht.
