VERY FINE APPEARANCE. AN OUTSTANDING DESIGN AND ONE OF THE RAREST CONFEDERATE PATRIOTIC COVERS WITH ONLY TWO EXAMPLES RECORDED.

Camp Stephens was named for the Vice President of the Confederacy, Alexander H. Stephens. Confederate troops from Georgia trained at this camp and at Calvary Camp Milner. The Confederate Tent Patriotic designs with Standing Soldiers (TF-2-TF-4) are among the rarest of all Patriotic covers. The Camp Stephens woodcut design offered here comes without the tree, as in this example, and with the tree (it was removed, not added). Both versions are extremely rare.

VERY FINE. AN OUTSTANDING AND RARE REGIMENTAL PATRIOTIC DESIGN, PRODUCED EARLY IN THE WAR.

Our survey of decades of Confederate sale catalogues and reference books located only seven examples of this distinctive Crescent Rifles patriotic, including the two covers offered in Kilbourne Part One (Siegel Sale 1186) and the example offered here. Five are used from Tudor Hall, including:

1) Tudor Hall Oct. 23, 1861 datestamp and "Due 10", to Mrs. Harry T. Hays, Dover Miss., ex Kimmel (Siegel Sale 492, lot 934)

2) Tudor Hall Oct. ?, 1861 and 10”, to M. Harris, New Orleans, Siegel Sale 1182, lot 466

3) Tudor Hall Nov. 9, 1861 datestamp and "Due 10", to Mrs. Harry T. Hays, Dover Miss., Kilbourne Part One, Siegel Sale 1186, lot 588

4) Tudor Hall Dec. ?, 1861 datestamp, with 10c Dark Blue, Hoyer & Ludwig, to Mrs. Harry T. Hays, Dover Miss., Siegel Sale 1167, lot 2482

5) Tudor Hall Mar. 4, 1862 datestamp, to Ella P. Rind, New Orleans, "Adv.1" handstamp, illustrated in Wishnietsky book on p. 117, the cover offered here

In addition to these five Tudor Hall covers, which are genuine uses from members of the 7th Regiment, Louisiana Volunteers, there are two others:

6) Federal usage of the envelope with a 3c 1861 tied by Washington D.C. Mar. 13, 1862 datestamp and marked "Found at Manassas", Kilbourne Part One, Siegel Sale 1186, lot 589

7) Cover with 10c Die B barely tied by town datestamp, possibly not originating, ex Kohn (Siegel Sale 382, lot 1470)

As a Colonel, Harry T. Hays was the original commander of the 7th Louisiana Volunteers, which was called the Pelican Regiment. Although composed of farmers, laborers and clerks, the Louisiana 7th Regiment was described as a "crack regiment" by Gen. Richard Taylor. Hays went on to become a General. [Source: www.panix.com].

Ex Antrim, from whom the Kilbournes bought the cover privately in 1960 (for $150). Illustrated in 1959 Dietz Catalog on p. 203 and in Wishnietsky's Confederate Patriotic Covers and Their Usages on p. 117 (Image)

VERY FINE. THIS IS ONE OF ONLY TWO RECORDED EXAMPLES OF THIS GENERAL BEAUREGARD PATRIOTIC DESIGN IN BLUE.

The MS-1 Beauregard Patriotics, normally found in red or brown, are the only designs that state his name. SN-4 and SN-5 also depict what appears to be Beauregard but his name is not stated. This example in blue is a great rarity and one of only two recorded. The other example, bearing a 5c Blue Lithograph, was offered in Kilbourne Part One (Siegel Sale 1186, lot 627).
