#7 block ...mehr 1864, West to East Trans-Mississippi Cover Front, franked by #7 block of 6 and horizontal pair (originally a block of 8), stamps with individual vertical pen cancel, "Acton Texas March 4/64" manuscript postmark at top left on gray cover front addressed to Capt. J.A. Formwalt, Dalton Ga. Cleburne's Division, Smith's Brigade, Army of Tennessee", manuscript "Via Shreveport La." at bottom left; edgewear affects top left stamp and slightly affects others, Fine, this is a very rare West to East Trans-Mississippi cover front with 40¢ postage paid. Richard Krieger recorded 27 "positive" Trans-Mississippi covers that traveled West to East. This is #W5 in his census. We observed that of the 27 listed, only 2 are franked with #7, 1 is partially franked with #7 and none are franked with #6. A copy of his census accompanies this cover. For some unknown reason, probably because this is a cover front, it is neither listed nor priced in the Eastbound listings in the C.S.A. Handbook., with 1975 C.S.A. certificate (stating #6).
You can read the very interesting story of Formwalt's service at https://granburydepot.org/newsite/biography/major-john-alexander-formwalt-and-the-tenth-texas-infantry/ We paste the potion of Formwalt's story when he would have received this cover here -- "At the Battle of Chickamauga, fought on September 18 20, 1863, General Desher was killed and Smith took over, and the name of the brigade was changed to Smith's Brigade. On February 22, 1864, Smith's brigade was ordered out of its quarters at Tunnel Hill and sent to Dalton, Georgia, marching the nine miles to board a train there. They headed west but were stopped at Montgomery, Alabama, with orders to return to Dalton as fast as possible because Sherman was advancing from Jackson, Mississippi toward Meridian. While the men were getting off the cars at Dalton, they were ordered to retake Dug Gap, four miles to the west which had been captured. The brigade drove the Federals out of the gap and on February 27, they went into winter near Dalton." and if you read the rest of the story, you will be absolutely amazed that this artifact survived.
