Six Official Confederate Imprints
<B>Six Confederate Government Imprints,</B></I> 24 pages total, 6" x 9", Richmond, Virginia, January and February, 1863. Four of the imprints contain messages from President Davis as well as several from various Confederate cabinet members, politicians and functionaries. The subjects of these communications range from high finance to contracts for ice. The two remaining imprints detail a bill outlining election procedures for Confederate territories occupied by the Union armies. All of these imprints carry the U.S. War Department's post-1865 oval "Rebel Archives" stamp. Lightly aged, a few of the papers have splits. Overall fine condition and a fascinating glimpse into the workings of a doomed government.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Small Collectibles (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
