About This Item
1867. Broadside. A broadside to memorialize Thomas Beverley Randolph, born in Cumberland County, Virginia. May 31 1792. He graduated West Point at age 20 and served as an officer in the Regular Army of the U.S. in the war of 1812 and in the war with Mexico.
When offered a general's commission by Pres. Jefferson Davis he declined in the following words; "Virginian as I am, proud of my lineage and my State, educated at the U.S. Military Academy, having fought in two wars for the honor of my country, I cannot in my declining years turn my back upon the flag." (From "The Beverley family of Virginia; descendants of Major Robert Beverley, 1641-1687, and allied families.", Internet Archive. He died December 12th, 1867 and is buried near Dubuque, Iowa.
Broadside, 11 1/2 x 7 1/2", text within black border. Slt. browning, very good overall.
