Join Trish Kaufmann, past president of the Confederate Stamp Alliance, as she looks at postal innovation during the American Civil War.
It was her definitive research on the 3-cent 1861 Postmaster Provisionals, published jointly in both the 1984 and 2000 American Philatelist and The Confederate Philatelist, that resulted in an entirely new Confederate section in the 2000 Scott Specialized Catalogue, as well as the CSA Catalog.
Her research was a 16-year project, which ultimately disproved the misconceptions of over a century of prior catalog listings – both U.S. and Confederate.
