Here are the Civil War era covers I recently bought. I just got them in the mail an hour ago. I scanned them at 300 d.p.i. and only scanned the reverse if there was something of interest. most do have something scribbled on the back but I only cherry picked them to scan to save time. Please tell me a little about these as I been anxiously awaiting your scrutiny and hopefully you can help me ID the stamps also. I know the obvious #114 but the rest I'm not so sure of. Thank you and enjoy your trip through time!
Henry J. SEIBERT -served as a member of the first County Court of Berkeley County; he was elected for the short term in 1880. Prior to that date, the county was governed by a Board of Supervisors, one man from each district, seven members for the county. Henry J. Seibert was elected for the long term — 6 years — in 1890. The first county court under this system was composed of Blackburn Hughes, Jacob Miller and Henry J. Seibert.
On January 5, 1861, Georgia seceded from the Union. Calhounians joined the Confederacy during the American Civil War. On May 16, 1864, Calhoun was near the center of action as Union General William Tecumseh Sherman and Confederate General Joseph E. Johnston postured before the outbreak of the Battle of Adairsville during Sherman's Atlanta Campaign. Oakleigh, home of Dr. Wall, was saved and used by Sherman as the headquarters at that time.
