General Robert E. Lee said after the war that among the younger men he thought William Mahone had developed the highest quality for organization and command. In railroads after the war, Mahone created the privately owned Atlantic, Mississippi & Ohio Railroad. Of this fine road (later the Norfolk & Western) he was President at a salary (men noted) "as big as the President's". He signs this Atlantic, Mississippi, & Ohio Railroad Stock, VA, 1870, orange imprinted Internal Revenue stamp at center. Superb engraved graphics by Continental Bank Note Co.
