PLACE

I originally set this page up as Issued Place, which means the stamp or manuscript endorsement has the location where a 730 note was issued, reissued or paid out from.  However, many collect these notes with any type of endorsement or stamp.  Some of those are official receipts, or From, and Other post WAR endorsements such as UCV, UDC, court cases, advertising, &c.  Any 730 with location will be imaged on this page.  The images are listed in alphabetical order and PLACE constitutes one of several ways you can collect Trains & Hoers.  

All the images are from notes in TRAINMEN collections.  These images may be saved for your personal reference; but, they remain the property of TRAINMEN and Col Crutch Williams CSA TM01.  They may not be used for any other purpose without first requesting and being granted permission in writing.

The images have been saved in many sizes and are reduced on the page.  In most cases you can Double click an image to enlarge it.  Any image with an asteric (*) is a Black & White photo-copy.

BATTERY FUSILIER (Trans-Mississippi)
Battery Fusilier (Louisiana)
Battery Fusilier is believed to be a military position on the Louisiana side of the Mississippi River.  Dated Feb 27th 1863, this one is an Artilery branch Military Issue.  This image cannot be enlarged.


BEAUMONT TEXAS  (Trans-Mississippi)
Beaumont Texas 7Nov62 Brown
Beaumont Texas, Nov 7th 1862.  While there is no rank indicated, this is a military issue since AQM (Acting Quarter Master) follows Brown's name.



BONHAM TEXAS  (Trans-Mississippi)
Supply location in North Texas near Indian Territory (Oklahoma) border
Bohnam Tx 11Mar63 Civil   Bonham 18May63
              March 11, 1863    <<  Both endorsements are considered Agent >>    March 28, 1863
Bonham 22Feb63 Fraley ACS
  February 22, 1863 issued by Fraley.  This piece
  is probably military; but, could have been civil.
  He endorsed the note as Capt. & ACS which
  stands for Acting Commissary of Subsistance CSA.
  Commissary was a position and not all who held
  the position had military rank.  Those needed in the
  military were later redesignated Quarter Master or
  AQM and the others, with rank removed, simply
  became Agents of the Treasury Department.  A
  Commissary Agent acted in dual role for Military
  and Civil government well into 1863.


Bonham 28Feb63 Cabel AQM

(*)
  This is definately a military issue as Cabel has title
  Capt. & AQM CSA.  This image is B&W copy.







CAMP BROWN   (AT)
Camp Brown Ga 15Dec62  Military Issue:   12Dec62   Image can't be enlarged.
  Camp Brown was part of the Georgia Military Institute.
  It was originally used for officer training into 1861 when
  it was designated a troop training facility.  As more troops
  arrived and more space was needed, they moved to a new
  location 6 miles away and renamed.  It is presumed that it
saw continued use as office space for military and perhaps civilian agents of other government departments.

CAMP LILLY  (ANV)

CHARLESTON SOUTH CAROLINA (AV)
Charleston Postal 5Sep62
       Charleston SC Postal 8Sep62
             September 5, 1862                         September 8, 1862
These are civil issues most likely by Depositary Agent using Postal Stamp for issue date.  There are other dates and more will be added as imaged.  The first has "Issued"  manuscript along with the stamp.  Many are found this way.  The second doesn't have the manuscript issued.  The first also has the issue date cancelled.  There are several possible reasons for this and difficult to say without seeing the whole note; but, I've seen examples that fit the following:  1)  The date stamp was applied and the note wasn't used on that day.  A new stamp with date was added later.  2)  The note was issued on this date, taken back in and reissued with another stamp and the first was cancelled out.  3)  When interest was paid 1 Jan 1863, the date was struck out to remind the agent this paticular note had been accounted. 

CHATTANOOGA TENNESSEE  (AT)
Chattanooga Tenn No DateThis is an interesting endorsement.  We believe it says From Chattanooga off for Office.  But it could just as easily be Tenn(essee) Chattanooga Off(ice).   We are trying to determine if the handwriting is that of JGM Ramsey or Jesse Thomas.  Both were Tennessee Treasury Agents.  However, this note, which is undated, was probably issued by Ramsay prior to October 1862.   I don't have the information handy as I create this page; but, Ramsey wrote to CG Memminger and said he was sorry that he missed one of the Treasury memos.  Memminger had sent a notice to all his Agents to place a date on the back of the notes they issued or paid out that would be used for interest calculations.  Ramsey issued out a number of notes before he read the memo.  I classify this note as a civil issue; but it could be quasi-military as Ramsay was in charge of local militia and Secret Agents (spies).
Chattanooga Tenn 15Oct62
We don't know who issued this note.  You can see that Tenn is very similar to From or Tenn on the above note.  Chattanooga is written similar as well.  This note is dated October 15, 1862 and is considered an Agent issue.

Chattanooga Tenn 1May63 Bryan QM


This is a Chattanooga Military issue dated May 1st, 1863
This note was issued by AM Bryan, Major & Quarter Master





COLUMBIA TENNESSEE  (AT)
Columbia Tenn 1May63This is actually a ReIssued note.  The note was issued first at Jackson, Miss and then "issued" again (reissued) Columbia Te (Tennessee) May 1st, 1863.  Jackson was a central location where merchants came to be paid and where agents came to receive fund to be paid out in other far reaching locations.  There are two possible reasons for this double issued note.  1)  The agent dated for issue a great many notes upon his arrival and his clerks paid the notes out to various parties.  This  note went to an agent who eventually had the opportunity to issue it as payment for services or merchandise.  2)  The note actually issued out that day in Jackson and was taken in by an agent somewhere else and then reissued in Columbia Tenn.  I believe the first option occured as many I see taken back in actually state "ReIssued".  In any case, the note made it back to Jackson, or to where ever the Jackson Treasury Agent might have been for the 1864 Interest payment.

CORPUS CHRISTI TEXAS  (TM)
Corpus Christi Texas 27Apr63 LtBailey AAQM

This note was Issued at Corpus Christi Texas, April 27th 1863.  This note is a very interesting piece because a Lieutenant is the issuing officer.  Most military notes were issued by Captains or Majors.  Lieutenant Charles F. Bailey was Acting Assistant Quarter Master (AAQM) Confederate States(CS) Army.   This is a Train.

(There are Agent issues from Corpus Christi as well.  They're usually found on Hoers.)


FORT ARCHER (Virginia?)  (*)
Fort Archer or UNK 27Mar63Fort Archer Virginia (after capture became Union Fort Wheaton). I'm not at all sure if this is "Archer".  Perhaps the letter is an "S" and it looks to be 'C.N.' (Confederate Navy?) at end.  This is military and UnKnown if not Fort Archer.  Archer was never finished and according to records I read, construction began in August 1864 and it was captured September 30th 1864 by Union forces.   If you have any thoughts on the origin of this endorsement please contact me.  Other thoughts on this note:  Issued at Fort - Siler A (Albert Siler) NC CoS (ComSub).

                Agent:  December 12th 1862                                              Agent: February 9th 1863
Hempstead Tx Dec 8,1862Hempstead was a very active location in Texas. It was a convergence point of Rail & Roads located just to the northwest of Houston that ran to every location in the state.  Besides being a major supply distribution point, it was also a location where Confederate troops were massed and trained before being shipped out.  Prisoners of War were also brought to Hempstead and held in a camp nearby.   The note at left, issued  December 8th 1862, has initials one Trainman says are AM&Bro.  If this is correct, it most likey was a merchant issue.  However, I think the last part might be QM.  If anyone has information on this piece, please let me know.

Houston Texas Bogus Post MarkExample of Houston Texas Postal Issue Hand Stamp.  This piece, illustrated at left, is a BOGUS COPY and is affectionately known as a Grover Special.  Grover Criswell is said to have made up this stamp for a collector who wanted one desparately.  It is the only Postal Stamp on 730 1862 Interest Hundred that is unknown in numismatic circles.  The 2nd Edition 1986 Dietz Confederate States Catalog and Handbook lists the eight (8) postmarks used on Southern currency on page 258.  Five examples known to have been used on these notes are pictured.  Those five are Charleston, S.C.; Houston, Tex:; Jackson, Miss; San Antonio, Tex; and, Shelbyville, Te.  The other three are Lenoir, N.C.; Richmond, Va; and, Savannah, Ga.  You will find images on this page of all the other postmarks except Richmond, Va.  It is generally believed that this stamp on the 1862 Interest $100 exists in philatellic circles as those collectors searched out Confederate Postal Stamped notes over 50 years ago.  If you have one, or know someone that owns one, please ask them to provide an image that I can display.  I also need an example of Richmond, Va. to add to this listing.
