The New Haven Grays were a militia unit formed in 1816 as the New Haven Light Infantry and used as a civil defense force for the City. "At the outbreak of the Civil War the Grays enlisted for a 90 day period of service as part of the 2nd Connecticut Infantry. They took part in the first major engagement of the Civil War the Battle of Bull Run. It was this battle which was a victory for the Confederate Forces which the Grays saved the day for the union. Union Forces broke and ran throwing down their weapons and fleeing in panic while being attacked by the Confederates leaving the road to Washington DC open to the enemy. However the Grays led by CPT Alfred H. Terry held and withdrew in an orderly fashion using covered fire to 'Leap Frog' back which caused the Confederate Leader to think he was facing a superior well-trained force to call off his attack. The unit took part in 19 battles during the Civil War and at Gettysburg several monuments stand today in honor of those men and their deeds" article '1st Battalion - 102nd Infantry Regiment.' at online site of Global Security Organization .

Old horizontal and vertical folds smoothed-out some handling dust-soil and faint foxing; Very Good. A crudely-designed broadside created by Wade Perry and Gerald Allen both students at Yale's School of Architecture during the trial of the New Haven Nine. The broadside clearly aimed to circulate among the throngs of protestors converging upon the Yale campus and surrounding region called for restraint: "Any violence this weekend will have a direct immediate and detrimental effect on the lives of the defendants!"

"In short: If you really want to help Bobby Seale and the New Haven Panthers if you really want to help the people whose lives are at stake right now if you really want to live up to your beliefs without jeopardizing their lives.then you must make sure there is no violence this weekend!!"
