| Example of scrip employed as currency in Claiborne
Parish, Louisiana in 1862: 
|
| |
| After the fall of Baton Rouge to David Glasgow
Farragut on 7 May 1862, Gov. Thomas Overton Moore
transferred the capital of Confederate Louisiana to
Shreveport. Below is an example of scrip issued from
Shreveport, 45 miles from Homer, Louisiana. 
|
The Confederacy Strikes the Union!
This allegorical figure, which is
strangely anachronistic, seems to be an instance of what,
specifically in reference to Louisiana, Mark Twain was
later to call "the Sir Walter Scott disease."
Its plausibility resides in the fact that it was engraved
and printed before the Fall of Vicksburg and the Battle
of Gettysburg.
