U.S. And C.S.A. Postal History and General Foreign Stamps and Covers continued...

The Steven C. Walske Collection of Military Mails (Confederate Military Covers)
Lot Sym. Lot Description  
2839 c Athens Ga., 5c Purple (5X1).> Horizontal pair, Types I-II (small and large Paid), small even margins touching framelines, tied by grid cancel and Athens Ga. Paid Oct. 15 (1861) circular datestamp, second strike at left on small <pink envelope> toAthens Ga., 5c Purple (5X1). Horizontal pair, Types I-II (small and large "Paid"), small even margins touching framelines, tied by grid cancel and "Athens Ga. Paid Oct. 15" (1861) circular datestamp, second strike at left on small pink envelope to Sgt. Maj. Lamar Cobb at Richmond Va.

VERY FINE. ONE OF THE FINEST OF THE FOURTEEN RECORDED COVERS BEARING A PAIR OF THE ATHENS POSTMASTER PROVISIONAL. THIS TYPE I-II COMBINATION REFLECTS THE TWO-SUBJECT WOODCUT ENGRAVING.

Francis J. Crown Jr. reports 19 pairs of the Athens 5c Purple provisional on separate covers. The Crown census of 22 includes three entries that should be eliminated: the unique strip of four on cover, a cover with two singles, and one likely duplicate ("-5 DEC"). We have visually confirmed fourteen of the Crown-listed covers, and there is doubt in our minds whether the remaining five truly exist (they are based on earlier census work by others, which could be unreliable). We located one additional cover with a pair that is so severely defective, it should be disqualified. The condition of the pair and cover offered here is far superior to the typical condition of the fourteen covers in our photographic records.

EXTREMELY FINE. AN OUTSTANDING 10-CENT ROSE LITHOGRAPH COVER FROM THE BENJAMIN FRANKLIN LITTLE CORRESPONDENCE.

From www.greensborohistory.org we learn: "Benjamin Franklin Little, one of the principal subjects of this collection, was by training a lawyer and later became a planter in Richmond County, North Carolina. His father, Thomas Little, had established a plantation after emigrate from England in the early part of the nineteenth century. Upon the elder Little’s death in the mid 1850s, B. F. Little appears to have assumed management of the plantation. In the late 1850s Little married the former Mary Jean 'Flax' Reid, daughter of influential planter and politician Rufus Reid of Iredell County, North Carolina. They had at least five children--Rufus, Lacy, Tom, Nancy and Sallie. After the outbreak of the Civil War, Little was appointed captain in the North Carolina Troops in March 1862 and in August of that year received his commission, which placed the company he commanded in the 52nd Regiment. At the battle of Gettysburg, Little was severely wounded, then captured by Union forces and hospitalized. His wound would subsequently require the amputation of his left arm, after which he was sent to prison in Maryland. In March 1864 he was paroled at Point Lookout, Maryland, and shortly thereafter exchanged at City Point, Virginia. A month later he was appointed Lieutenant Colonel to the Field and Staff of the 52nd Regiment, but by July he submitted his resignation due to reasons associated with his disability. Upon his release from service, Little returned to the family home, called Carlisle, farming and other business ventures. In the last year of the war he became active in state politics and later served as a delegate to the Democratic National Convention in St. Louis, Missouri, in 1876. He died at his residence in July 1879."
