Confederate Civil War notes on display in Sheridan
The Grand Army Post in Sheridan Wyoming displays for exhibition a collection of Confederate promissory notes seized during the Civil War. The notes, dating 1861 to 1864, promise payment after a peace treaty that was never ratified and bear inscriptions about duties and bonds. A treasury letter explains the notes’ custody and value as historical relics. Frederick G. Cooper recalls a southern woman who amassed Confederate currency washing soldiers’ pay, only to end the war practically penniless.
