This is your chance to own a Union Prisoner of War cover from the American Civil War. Only TWO available – hurry and order now!
Details of Covers (Covers May Vary):
Both from Johnson's Island with 3¢ Rose (US #65) stamps. Single frankings, blue cork cancels. Blue "Midway KY" c.d.s, censor oval handstamps on reverse. Addressed to Lt. Col. John W. Inzer 32nd & 58th Alabama Infantry Regts. Backflaps missing, otherwise Very Fine condition.
Interesting historical note: Johnson's Island on the coast of Lake Erie, just 3 miles from Sandusky, Ohio, was the location of a prisoner-of-war camp for captured Confederate officers during the Civil War.
