Civil War - Surrender Dgn 542
$3.50

Sc. 4981 Civil War - Surrender on a 5”x7” Dragon Card reproducing a Currier & Ives print depicting the surrender of Confederate Gen. Joseph E. Johnston to Union Gen. William T. Sherman, April 26th, 1865. The print is from about 1865 and was hand-colored. Although ordered to continue to fight a guerrilla war, Johnston felt it would result in pointless bloodshed. His was the last major Confederate army to surrender. The Appomattox pictorial postmark ties the Appomattox stamp, and 1995’s Johnston (Sc. 2975m) and Sherman (2975q) stamps. Great for a Civil War- or military-on-stamps collection!
