Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 Original 1862 hand signed “One Dollar” note issued by the “State of Mississippi” in Jackson. The note is printed on one side only and has the hand inscribed serial number “201023”. The lead bullets were recovered from the Wilderness and Spotsylvania Battlefields near Fredericksburg, Virginia. They are typical of what would have been used at the Battle of Corinth. The lead ammunition at left are; a .44 Colt “Army” Model, a .52 Sharps carbine generally used by the cavalry branch of service and a .58 round for the Springfield rifle or other imported arms of that caliber. The lead ammunition at right are; a .69 Musket ball used by both sides, a Federal issue for the .52 Spencer carbine and a Confederate issue .58 Gardner made at the Richmond Arsenal in Virginia.. The Spencer used a brass cartridge the others used a paper cartridge which has not survived in the ground. The white color or patina is due to oxidation in the ground. At the Battle of Corinth, the Confederates hope to size the railroad junction and then undertake an invasion of Tennessee. On October 3, 1862, Maj. Gen. Earl Van Dorn and Maj. Gen. Sterling Price hurled their combined force of 22,000 men against 21,000 Union troops under Maj. Gen. William Rosecrans manning works at Corinth. The coordinates attack by Confederates turned the Union defenders out of extensive earthworks north of Corinth, then drove the Union troops back some two miles into the city’s inner defenses by late afternoon on October 3. At 6 pm, Van Dorn calls a halt to the day’s fighting, stating that his men were exhausted. Van Dorn is certain victory can be won the following day. Van Dorn renewed the battle in earnest the next morning, but after initial gains his troops succumbed to exhaustion, thirst and a well timed Union counterattack that decisively frustrated the Confederate effort. Van Dorn was forced to abandon the field. In two days bloody battle of Corinth, Union forces suffered some of 2,500 casualties, while the Confederates lost 2460 killed or wounded and another 1763 missing or deserted in the withdrawal to Ripley. The scene “Battle of Corinth” was reprinted from the lithograph by Kurz & Allison. Kurz and Allison were major publishers of chromolithographs in the late 19th century. They built their reputation on large prints published in the 1880-90 period depicting battles of the American Civil War. This was a period of recollection among veterans, and the company was trying to capitalize on this sentiment. In all, a set of thirty-six battle scenes were published from designs by Louis Kurz, himself a veteran of the war. They did not pretend to mirror the actual events but rather attempted to tap people’s patriotic emotions. The hand made solid Poplar frame with distressed milk paint finish is 12” x 16” (glass) in size. All of the frame and display work was done in our cabinet shop here in Fredericksburg, Virginia. The frame is ready to hang. The wire is recessed which allows the frame to rest flat back to the wall as in a museum mount. The “bumpons” on each back corner protect the wall and keep the frame level. The back of the frame, which doesn’t show, has some brush strokes from the second coat of paint. All of the artifacts are guaranteed to be original as stated. A hand signed and dated “Certificate of Authenticity” will be issued by Collectors Frame with a photograph and description of the items purchased. Please see our “About” for more information on the framing and artifacts.
