Lot 3075    

Confederacy, 1863, 10¢ blue, Archer & Daly printing. Four margins, light crease, tied by the pre-war "Charleston S.C." smaller single rim postmark on yellow cover to Camden, S.C., cover with a little overall foxing & wear, F.-V.F.
Scott No. 11    Estimate $150 - 200.

This postmark was only very occasionally used in the Confederate period. The postmarks more commonly used were the small double circle or the large single rim with yeardate and missing digit. This pre-war mark differs from the other more commonly used C.S.A. single rim device in that it is somewhat smaller than the C.S.A. mark, has a different style of lettering, and has no yeardate within the postmark. Only about 40 covers are recorded where this pre-war Charleston postmark was used from mid-1862 to mid-1864. A very good example of this not commonly seen Charleston postmark.

Siege artillery is heavy artillery primarily used in military attacks on fortified places. The weight and size of siege artillery prevented it from regularly travelling with the armies. When needed, siege artillery and other material needed for siege operations were assembled into what was called a siege train.

Major Edward Manigault, was one of the commanding officers ordered by General P. G. T. Beauregard to document his unit's daily operations, began a diary in July 1863 that would become one of the most informative records to survive the Civil War.
