TN388

CSA #11 (AD) (4-Margin but close left and right) Pen-Cancel and manuscript “Chickamauga” with an early Oct (1863) date across the top. Chickamauga is listed as a CSA post office in Hamilton County, Tennessee. Addressed to Mr. William D. Kimbrell, Cold Springs Post Office, Edgefield District, South Carolina. Most of the mail going through the small Chickamauga post office in October 1863 was Army of Tennessee mail. William D. Kimbrell (1800-1867) is listed on the 1860 census as a fairly wealthy 60 year old farmer in Edgefield District SC. He had one son, James Kimbrell, who served in Co I (Edgefield Guards) 24th SC Inf which was an Army of Tennessee unit and fought at the battle of Chickamauga. Pvt James Kimbrell was most likely the sender of this cover home to his father about 2 1/2 weeks after the battle. Very Fine.
