Signature is crisp and unaffected by cut cancel. Please see photos for condition.In October 1861, Scott became Lieutenant Colonel of the 68th Ohio Infantry, and Colonel of that regiment in 1862. He served in Tennessee, where he commanded the advance of Major General John A. Logan's division on the march into Mississippi. He was engaged at Port Gibson, Raymond, and Champion Hill. He was afterward at the head of a brigade in the XVll Corps, and was taken prisoner near Atlanta. There are conflicting claims about how he gained freedom. Some claim he was part of a prisoner exchange on September 24, 1864 and was put into Sherman's operations before that city and in the march to the sea, while records also indicate that he escaped by jumping from a prisoner train. Scott was commissioned as a Brigadier General of volunteers on January 12, 1865, and also received the brevet ranks of brigadier and major general in the volunteer army, to date from January 26, and December 2, 1865, respectively. In 1868 he became Governor of South Carolina. This bond certificate is about 155 years old. Own a piece of 19th Century Civil War history!!! It is a beautiful old stock. Thank you for looking!!
