A series called "Uncle Sam's Farm and How They Lived There." Various characters with labels, such as a rat labeled "Secession," a dog labeled "Jeff," a cow (with a crumpled horn) labeled "Scott," etc. No. 9 in the series: This is the Parson (Washington) now dead and gone that married the man all tattered and torn to the maiden all forlorn who raised the cow with the crumpled horn that tossed the dog that worried the cat that killed the rat that eat the malt that laid in the house that Uncle Sam Built. Many with cartoons: "J.D. (Jeff Davis) looking into futurity, and he don't like the 'look' - but looks 'down in the mouth.'" With Davis looking down the mouth of a cannon labeled "Union." Or "Hornet's Nest. What Davis got when he left the Union." Or "Jeff and Beauregard on their Last Ride" showing the two being carried by devils. And many, many more - many with flags, and eagles, and martial symbols, etc. A collection well underway for a new collector! Condition: Variable, from near new to moderately toned and/or soiled.
