Fine Arkansas War Bond Issued to Colonel of the 12th Arkansas Infantry, CSA, E.W. Gantt
Fine Arkansas War Bond Issued to Colonel of the 12th Arkansas Infantry, CSA, E.W. Gantt
This nice Arkansas War Bond was originally issued to E.W. Gantt,
Colonel of the 12th Arkansas Infantry
! A successful attorney, Gantt
briefly served in the US House of Representatives, having been elected
in 1860. At the beginning of the war, he commanded the 12th Arkansas
at the Battle of Belmont, before being sent to Island Number 10
. After
the fall of the island, Gantt like hundreds of other Southerners became
a prisoner. Upon his release in late 1862, Gantt waited for another
assignment, which was not forthcoming. In mid 1863, Gantt again
surrendered to US authorities, and swore allegiance to the Union,
a move which did not make him popular after the war.
            The Bond is in good condition with one major stain on the
left side, a few minor edge tears, and one small horizontal tear on
the right edge, just above the date, and not quite reaching to it. It's
maybe 1.25 inches long. Bond still retains nine of it's original ten
interest coupons though, and will frame and display very nicely.
