1995 Civil War Stamp Sheet & Civil War Aid to Volunteers Document

Product Description

1995 Civil War Stamp Sheet – This colorful sheet of 20 different 32¢ stamps is uncirculated and still intact. Issued in 1995, these vibrant stamps honor a wide variety of participants from the Civil War. Planning for this release proved to be the most extensive effort in the history of the U.S. Postal Service to review and verify the factual accuracy of stamp subjects. Featured are Presidents, generals, major battles, rank-and-file soldiers, women, African and Native Americans and abolitionists. The back of each unused stamp carries information about the person or battle honored.

Civil War Aid to Volunteers Document – This moving piece of history is a genuine "Aid to Volunteers" document – an application for support, filled out by a wife or mother of a soldier serving in the Civil War. More than just a piece of paper, it captures the sacrifice made not only by men on the battlefield, but also the families they left behind. Dates, names and state of application will vary from shown.
