Confederate collection. ca. 1861-1987.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/265024791

These are various items gathered in one collection because provenance is not apparent and the theme of these materials is the Confederate government and army of the Civil War. Included are Confederate bank notes, a term paper written about four Confederate statues in the West Georgia region, and a pamphlet authored by Marcus J. Wright called "Story of the Confederacy as told by the Records of their Government." All items are contained in one folder. The bank notes, dated 1861 and 1862, are encased in plastic sleeves. The Marcus Wright pamphlet is stamped with Sanford Library so at one time presumably was in the college's library collection. The term paper was written by Bridget Bobick and there is a note that it was funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities Younger Scholar Program.
