History is always best experienced through the original ink and paper of those who lived it. We’ve recently unboxed and categorized a fascinating collection of 19th-century manuscript correspondence, and today we’re highlighting a selection of fresh Civil War era paper ephemera now live in our store.
These mid-1800s letters provide a unique look into local history, mid-19th-century land transactions, banking operations, and regional correspondence during a critical period in American history:
-
1864 Richmond, Indiana Land Tax History Letter – An authentic Civil War era letter detailing local land tax matters and historical real estate records in Richmond, Indiana.
