# MA741 - Civil War Adversity Cover with CSA #11 or #12
Own a One-Of-A-Kind Civil War Adversity Cover with CSA #11 or #12
Made of scraps, ledger paper and even wallpaper, homemade Adversity Covers allowed Confederate mail to continue. Like Scarlet O’Hara’s dress made of curtains, Adversity Covers were necessary because the Union’s blockade of the South caused a severe shortage of many everyday resources.
You’ll be transported back in time when you hold one of these Civil War Covers in your hand. Each cover documents one Southerner’s determination to persevere.
Experience America’s tragic war and the Southern ingenuity that helped ordinary folks survive. Each cover is unique, so selections will vary. The one I examined was sent from Guntown, Mississippi. Some believe John Wilkes Booth lived out his life in Guntown, living in an attic room after escaping the hangman’s noose!
Allow us to choose one of these remarkable covers for you – so you can own a one-of-a-kind tie to American history.
