Lot 118


Rare DOUBLE Countersigned Civil War Document. This is a slip of paper on which is written valid for the day noted. All persons approaching a guard or Sentry in a Camp would have to give this to be allowed to pass. The countersign/pass was especially important at night when visibility was poor. The paper measures approx. 6" X 4.5" and is written the following: "Rockville Expedition, Poolesville, June 23rd,1861, Countersign Virginia By order of Col. Stone (Colonel Charles Stone) William S. Albert 1st Lieut. 4th Regiment, A. A. Adj. General". On the Other side is written: "Countersign Colonel Mason Tappan Army N.H. 1st Reg." Condition: The pass was originally folded and wax sealed and the seal was broken to present the pass. Sepia ink is rich and dark and easily readable. Not many were saved so few examples exist.
