This collection consists of a scrapbook compiled by George F. Doyle of Charlestown, Massachusetts. The patriotic Union scrapbook contains items mostly from the first year of the American Civil War, including Union songsheets, mourning cards, cartes-de-visite, patriotic covers, and cartoons, many of the latter clipped from patriotic stationery of the day. Most of the items celebrate the Union and its defense, while others mock the Confederacy and its leaders. Several items relate to Union martyr Colonel Elmer E. Ellsworth, and a few items depict African Americans. The scrapbook also includes a Confederate 10-dollar bill and a Confederate 1000-dollar non-taxable certificate.
