Item description from seller

1 broadside (61 x 49 cm.). Benjamin Franklin Butler (1818-1893) was a major general in the Union Army during the American Civil War and a politician who served in the Massachusetts Senate, the U.S. House of Representatives, and as governor of the state. In this proclamation he declared April 5, 1883, as a statewide day of humiliation, fasting, and prayer. While governor, Butler appointed the state's first African American judge, George Lewis Ruffin, and the first women to executive office in the state, Clara Barton, to head the Massachusetts Reformatory for Women. Scarce. In Good Condition: foxing and soiling; several of the folds are just starting to separate; upper corners are creased; solid.
