Experience the Civil War

Howell Cobb Correspondence
Amazing find – these scarce covers were sent after the Southern states seceded from the Union but before the war began. Selections vary, but each is addressed to Howell Cobb, who was a U.S. congressman, governor of Georgia, Buchanan’s U.S. Treasury Secretary before becoming Speaker and President Pro Tempore of the Confederate Provisional Congress. By virtue of the last position, Cobb was also the first President of the Confederacy until Davis was elected a few weeks later.
