Fort Gibson, C.N. Indian Territory (OK) - F.H. Nash $1 April 8, 1862 Burgett-3. Durand IT-36. PCGS Fine 15 Apparent. The F.H. Nash notes are interesting Cherokee Nation scrip; they were also redeemable at two merchants in Arkansas. The Nash notes were directly related to the Mayers & Brother issues from Fort Smith, Arkansas, and White & Hanley notes from Van Buren. The style and brown paper suggest they may have been printed at Fort Smith. Florian H. Nash was a merchant and sutler at Fort Gibson (named for Col. George Gibson), which had been abandoned by the United States in 1857. The Confederate Army reactivated it in 1861. This note series was payable only at Van Buren and Fort Smith, unlike some of the Mayers & Brother notes which were payable at up to five locations (including two in Texas). This typeset note was printed on brown rag paper without an imprint. It has ornate end borders and a double-line frame at the top and bottom. The location and date are at the upper right, and obligations are across the note. The upper left shows a bolded \"$1,\" and across the center is a bolded ONE DOLLAR. The small print near the top edge reads \"Redeemed at White & Hanley's, Van Buren, and Mayers & Bro., Fort Smith, Ark.\" The Nash signature is very nicely accomplished, but there is a tiny hole in the \"F.\" Noted with \"Small Holes; Writing in Ink on Back.\" The note has an attractive appearance and is the last available from the Newman Collection.
