- Civil War Volunteer Saloons and Hospitals Ephemera Collection. 1861-1868 (inclusive)
- Description
- The Civil War Volunteer Saloons and Hospitals Ephemera Collection holds ephemera and a few pieces of correspondence (including letters to and from Samuel Bradford Fales, William M. Cooper, and Arad Barrows) that illustrate and describe the workings of the Cooper Shop Volunteer Refreshment Saloon, the Union Volunteer Refreshment Saloon, and both of their hospitals. The ephemera is somewhat similar for each group, and consists primarily of donation acknowledgements, event tickets and programs, flyers, and circular letters that the committees used to raise funds., At the start of the American Civil War, thousands of enlisted men from the northeast arrived in Philadelphia on their way to fight in the South. No government or military agencies had made provisions for feeding or caring for these transients, so Philadelphians citizens founded the Cooper Shop Volunteer Refreshment Saloon and the Union Volunteer Refreshment Saloon. Both saloons opened for service in late May 1861. At no charge to the servicemen, they provided meals, newspapers, bathing facilities, changes of underwear and socks, and assistance in writing letters to families. Between them, the saloons operated twenty-four hours a day and depended solely on contributions of time and goods from neighborhood citizens and merchants. Those donations were supplemented by funds raised at a benefit fairs, concerts, and lectures held around the city, some of which benefited both organizations.

- Philadelphia July 25th 1862 To the members of the bar Gentlemen It is unnecessary to impress you with the importance of immediately furnishing our government with troops in this the hour of our country's trial. The government wants men; and money must be used to secure them. I trust I am well enough known to you to merit your confidence in my present undertaking. As heretofore I desire to return to the field with a superior class of men, but to do so I must hold out inducements greater than those offered by other organizations. I appeal to your patriotism for pecuniary assistance, and shall always owe a debt of gratitude to those who now support me, be that aid ever so trifling. I have appointed Henry C. Townsend Esqr, 811 Arch St. treasurer of this fund. Your subscriptions should be sent to him as early as possible that I may be able to announce to the public the premium offered to recruits through your generosity
