Thaddeus received the first communication from his manager that [the Confederates] were led on Tuesday to where the teams were and took all of the horses and mules and even crippled some horses. They took 4,000 pounds of bacon, molasses, contents of the store, $1,000 worth of corn from the mills and other grain, and $4,000 worth of bar iron. On Friday, they burned the furnace, sawmill, two forges and another mill. They kept the office and store room that night and burned them on Saturday. Damage was worse than Thaddeus expected and he doesn't know what the poor families will do; he must provide for their relief. Lancaster.

Engraving of Thaddeus Stevens, Artist Proof by John Sartain
Description
Print of Thaddeus Stevens; artist proof signed by John Sartain and Thaddeus Stevens; matted, some loss. Fair condition.
Additional information related to the print can be found in LancasterHistory library book 923.2 S846po. This book indicates that the print was taken from an 1862 photograph. The book also includes information advertising the print as well as testimonials from local newspapers and Stevens himself confirming the likeness. The letter (or a copy of it) from Stevens that is transcribed at the beginning of the book is folded into the back pages. A subscribers' list at the back of the booklet shows the 1867 price for the print: an artist's copy is $15. The booklet identifies the print as a steel engraving.
Provenance
John Sartain was an important nineteenth-century printmaker, who moved from England to the United States and is credited with pioneering mezzotint engraving in the United States.

Title
Campaign broadside, written on behalf of George M. Steinman, Democratic candidate for Congress opposing Thaddeus Stevens
Description
Reproduction of an [1862] campaign broadside. "To the people of Lancaster County! A few facts in the political history of Thaddeus Stevens." Written on behalf of George M. Steinman, Democratic candidate for Congress opposing Thaddeus Stevens. An 1843 letter written by Henry Clay to Rev. Colton, in which he expresses opposition to Abolition and supports States rights regarding the institution of slavery, is added at the bottom of the broadside.
"The people of Lancaster County have the case fairly stated, and it will be for them to determine at the ballot box, whether they will be any longer willing to basely bow the knee to the dark spirit of Abolitionism, which broods over our once happy country like a death pall, and saddle themselves and their posterity with a grievous burthen of debt to free and support in idleness four millions of negroes; or whether, by electing George M. Steinman, a pure and honest man, and a true patriot, they will cling to the Constitution and the Union of our fathers, as 'the shipwrecked mariner clings to the last plank, when night and the tempest close around him,' to use the language of the great Webster, and drive the foul spirits of disunion--Abolitionism and secession--'to the vile depths from which they sprung, unwept, unhonored, and unsung.'"
Reproduction on vinyl from the original at Yale University, Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library (Folio BrSides Cb4A 1862).
