Richmond....,., Virginia, 1864. 56 Page Bound set of documents from the Confederate States of America, titled "Report of the Secretary of the Treasury," which includes information on bonds, financial quarterly statements, and other details regarding C.S.A. investments; Within the pages is a Report of the Commissioner of Taxes, with accompanying text and tables, broken up into various Southern states. The last section of the booklet is Estimates of Appropriations, transmitted by Secretary of the Treasury, G. A. Trenholm. Interesting with extremely detailed financial records from the Confederate States of America during the Civil War. Purple handstamp on title page denotes that this was once a part of the War Division's Record Division of Rebel Archives. The War Department Collection of Confederate Records consists of records of the Confederate States of America acquired by capture or surrender at the close of the Civil War and those later acquired by donation or purchase. On July 21, 1865, the Secretary of War established a unit in the Adjutant General's Office for the collection, safekeeping, and publication of the "Rebel Archives." The records were used in protecting the U.S. Government against claims arising from the war, in establishing pension claims, and for historical purposes. After many changes both in location and custody, the records were placed in the Organization Records Section of the Old Records Division of the Adjutant General's Office, from which they were transferred to the National Archives in 1938.
