Burgett and James F. Lindsay The Society of Paper Money Collectors has undertaken the task of revising and bringing up to date the "Obsolete Note Listings by States" as published in The Numismatist during the period of 1922- 36. These original listings are still regarded as standard references on the subject of obsolete currency, and some of them have been reprinted in book form. They stand as a tribute to their author, David C. Wismer, a numismatic pioneer of Hatfield, Pennsylvania, who died in 1949 at the age of 92. FORWARD KANSAS BANKING HISTORY The writers have not attempted to present an exhaustive treatise on Kansas banking history, since those interested can find several such works available in libraries, etc. Instead, the following brief sketch has been prepared and anyone interested in further research is invited to inquire at his local library for further information on this subject. In 19th century Kansas. the centers of banking activity were Leavenworth and Atchison. The first national bank (permitted by the act of 1863) w as chartered in Leavenworth. This was the First National Bank of Leavenworth with Thomas Carney as president. The largest private bank was Scott, Kerr and Company. In 1857. the legislature had provided for the creation of the Kansas Valley Bank with five branches. Only the branch at Atchison was established, in 1858, with Sen- ator Samuel C. Pomeroy as one of the most important leaders. In 1859 the Exchange Bank of William Hetherington was established there, and in 1867 the city got its first national bank. Each of Kansas' constitutions provided for a banking system, and in 1861 the first legisla- ture submitted to the voters in the first election a general banking act, but although this act was approved. no banks were chartered. Therefore, banking in early Kansas was in the hands of pri- vate and national banks. The national banks were. of course. regulated by the federal government, but there were insufficient safeguards on private banking. Banking became a highly uncertain en- terprise, and anyone who had a strongbox and a desire to handle other people's money could be- come a banker. Early Kansans' hostility to banks grew out of questionable practices by the banks. high interest rates, and scarcity of money. When the federal government levied a tax on state bank note issues. they were driven from circulation, and thus a chronic credit shortage was created in the West. The Kansas farmer often was forced to rely for funds on mortgage compa- nies and unregulated private persons who carried on the quasi-banking activities. In 1868, the legislature sought to incorporate savings banks, and these began carrying on gen- eral banking business since there was no regulation to prevent their doing so. This practice was later sustained by the state courts. In 1879, the legislature tried to make bank officers liable for their depositors' losses, but it was not until 1891 that the state actually passed an act providing general banking rules and a banking commissioner to regulate them. This system was in opera- tion without significant change until 1947, when it was overhauled to bring it more into line with 20th century economic conditions. In 1887, largely as a result of the work of John R. Mul- vane of Topeka, a "Kansas Bankers Association" was established. and it gradually increased the respectability of a fraternity which was highly criticized in early Kansas. Statistics are not entirely reliable before 1891 except for the national banks. In that year there were 561 state and national banks in Kansas (159 listed in 1890) with assets of $69,811,000. The depression years of the 1890's reduced the number of banks to 465 in 1898. but after that the increase was continuous until in 1921 there were 1,379 banks. with assets of $553.933.000. With a few exceptions, the obsolete currency of Kansas is rare and seldom encountered. While it is more probable that notes were issued in Kansas which do not appear in the following list, only such as are definitely known to exist have been included. Considerable effort has been ex- pended in assigning degrees of rarity and value to the notes, and it is believed that they are as ac- curately and realistically rated as is possible, considering the limited factual information available on the subject. Following is a scale of rarity, which is standard for all states: 4.1 PACE 132 Paper Money WHOLE NO. 36 R-1 over 200 No Kansas notes this common are known. R-2 100-200 No Kansas notes this common are known. R-3 50-100 $25.00-40.00 R-4 25-50 $40.00-60.00 R-5 10-25 $60.00-75.00 R-6 5-10 $75.00-100.00 R-7 1-5 $100.00 to Whatever price agreed upon by buyer and seller. Prices are for notes in very fine or better condition. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS In the preparation of this list, the writers gratefully acknowledge the assistance rendered by Messrs. Eric P. Newman, Richard T. Hoober, Grover Criswell, J. L. Hargett, A. R. Beaudreau, and George Wait; and the Kansas State Historical Society and the Western Reserve Historical Society.

Whitcomb, Printer ABILENE No obsolete note issued by any bank in Abilene or, for that matter, any actual paper currency of any sort, has ever come to light. This is strange, since Abilene was the "end of the line" for the herds of cattle brought from Texas over the famous Chisholm trail. This fact alone places Abilene among the prominent localities of Kansas—a mecca for tourists today since it was also the birthplace of President Eisenhower! THE ABILENE BANK First started by Mr. W. B. Clarke, this establishment was taken over in 1872 by a firm called Au- gustine and Lebold. Shortly thereafter the senior partner, Jacob Augustine, sold out to one J. M. Fisher, who then became the partner of C. H. Lebold. The bank operated until Oct. 28, 1889, and then closed, paying its creditors at the rate of ten cents on the dollar. The only known numismatic memento of this pioneer establishment is a check dated Aug. 7, 1881, in the amount of $75.00 and is presently owned by Mr. James F. Lindsay.

See anything strange? Notice how the outer legs of the prefix letter M flare out toward the base. Normally they are vertical as on the M of the lower left serial. The odd M is actually an in- verted W! If there is any doubt, simply turn the photo upside-down and you will see a perfect W. How did such a thing happen? Fortunately, the an- swer comes directly from Frank Tucci and Morton C. Rice of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing Staff. This error had never come to their attention before, but they were able to give the following explanation with no trou- ble. Each numbering register is comprised of a row of ten wheels. The first and last contain topographically raised letters and the eight in between contain numbers. All ten wheels are the same diameter and turn on a single shaft. It is obvious that the numbering wheels only have to be large enough to hold ten characters around their perimeter, namely, 1, 2, 3, 4. 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 0. This means that the two lettering wheels can also hold only ten characters. Some provision had to be made for the other letters in the alphabet as well as the star. On the modern machines, this was accomplished by using lettering wheels that contain nine characters and a blank, namely, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I and blank. The blank position has a slot in which any other character may be inserted. The insert is held in place by a set screw. On some earlier machines, up to three blank positions were left on the lettering wheels. As the inverted W indicates, the character can fit in the slot either right side up or upside down. The error shown was caused when the operator mistakenly inserted a W upside down into the slot as an M. Let's examine the problem the operator faces each time the serial numbering machine is set up for a production run. The 1957 series Silver Certificates were printed in 32-subject sheets so the serial numbering presses con- tained 64 different serial registers. All 64 registers had to be hand set prior to each run. This meant the operator had to individually set the serial numbers on each register. In the case of the MA block, he also had to insert 64 M's into the blank spaces on the prefix letter wheels and tighten them down. During the 1957 series, 20,000 sheets (640,000 notes) were serial numbered in each production run. At that rate, 157 runs were required to number a complete block of 100 million notes. Not all of these runs were neces- sari;y done in a continuous sequence nor were they per- formed on the same machine. Consequently, an improp- erly set wheel might have persisted for only a few runs before it was either corrected or the serial numbering was assigned to another machine. The inverted W note shown here was printed on the seventh run from the E2 position. George Killian owns an inverted W note from the E2 position with serial M06658358A that was printed on the 11th run. It is ap- parent that the error persisted for several runs. Killian also owns two notes, M13689199A and M52737087A, both from the E2 position and runs 22 and 83 respectively. These notes have normal M's and demon- strate that the error had been corrected by the time these were printed. The story of the inverted W is not completely finished. The inverted W showed up again in the upper right ser- ial on note M33850844A. This note, owned by Meyer Fulda, comes from the E4 position and was printed during the 53rd run. Why did the position change on the later serials? The answer is not completely known but proba- bly the press used to print the E2 errors was shut down or used for something else so that the M's in the lettering wheels were removed and thrown into the M bin. Of course, the lone W from the E2 position went in the M bin too! When the press was once again used to print more of the MA block, the pressman went through the laborious process of inserting the 64 M's back into the blank spaces in the prefix wheels. This time, the W was inverted and put into the upper right E4 slot! Notice that this error could persist as long as the W landed in the M bin and was reused. How many runs were made with the W is unknown. Judging from the serials on known copies, the total number must be at least several tens of thousands. Despite this enormous quan- tity, very few of the inverted W notes are known. The reason for this rests in the fact that the error was discov- ered a long time after the MA block was released and it 4...V '4'4111 r.11 ,;(1.).1.)-1. r Rti e ' PT Of PAGE 148 Paper Money WHOLE NO. 36 was too late to systematically search for them. The Silver Certificate redemption has also taken a terrible toll of those placed in circulation. The writer sincerely acknowledges the help of Frank Tucci and Morton C.

About Our Authors Peter Huntoon Born in West Orange, New Jersey on August 27, 1.942, and resided in that town untill 1959 when the West beckoned. Moved to Tucson and completed secondary schooling. Started college at Arizona State College at Flagstaff but later transferred to University of Arizona to complete a BS degree in Hydrology. Took both an MS 11968 I and a Ph.D. (1970) in Hydrology at the Univer- sity of Arizona. The Ph.D. dissertation topic was the hydrology of the ground water system that drains into the north side of the Grand Canyon. This study is being further developed currently under a grant from the Museum of Northern Arizona in Flagstaff. Was married July 25, 1965 to Susan Burma of Grinnell.

Cooper A PENETRATING EXAMINATION OF A CIVIL WAR PERIOD STATE-ISSUED NOTE AND THE HISTORY IT ENCOMPASSED. THE NOTE, A $100 STATE OF MISSOURI "DEFENCE BOND" CURRENCY ISSUED UNDER ACT OF NOVEMBER 5. 1861. CATALOGUE AS BRAD- BEER #19 AND CRISWELL #19. The year 1861 was an epoch year in the history of the United States—the Federal union was fractured by seces- sion of some states, and the initial battles were fought to repair the fracture. The border states, Missouri, Ken- tucky and Maryland, were submerged in a sea of agony of divided sympathies. Missouri had the most devisive internal reactions which precipitated into separate armed camps, brother against brother, and soon hostile conflict. On May 10, 1861, Captain, and soon to be General, Nathaniel Lyon in command of a quasi-militia group of northern sympathetic citizens made a bold stroke and "captured" the citizen soldiers of the authorized Missouri Militia participating in their annual training encamp- ment. This action, which caused the death of about twenty-eight civilians, opened the wound and forced ac- tion on both sides. The Missouri legislature in session at Jefferson City passed legislation for the organizing, arming, and equipping of the Missouri State Guards and. authorized an expenditure of two million dollars to repel invasion. Command of the citizen soldiers was given to Missouri's most distinguished soldier, Major General Sterling Price. The purpose of the Guard at this date was mainly to preserve law and order and the autonomy of the state. Missouri was hopelessly endeavoring to avoid secession while denying the request of Lincoln for vol- unteers to a Federal army. Governor Claiborne F. Jack- son on June 13, 1861 issued a call for 50,000 men to acti- vate the newly-authorized Missouri State Guards; shortly after they found themselves in their first armed conflict with U.S. troops at Boonville. However, the Guards had another formidable foe to fight, the economics required to support their organiza- tion. Initially Governor Jackson had utilized money from the state school fund to support the Guards. and the legislature had authorized mandatory loans from state chartered banks. Ironically, the Federal troops under command of General Fremont experienced the same plight and he had to seize funds from the U. S. Treasurer in St. Louis. Governor Jackson was able to obtain ad- ditional funds when the Confederate government on August 6, 1861 appropriated the sum of one million dollars for the Missouri Guards. The economic battle expanded when General Fremont, to prevent their use by the State Guards, seized the funds of the State Bank of Lexington in the amount of $960,159. Before this money could be taken to St. Louis for safe keeping, the State Guards attacked on September 20, 1861, and recaptured the funds. The money was returned to the bank, but on September 30th under the authority of the legislature the bank had to loan $37,000 to the state for the Guards; in return the bank was allowed to suspend specie payment on its bank notes. The Federal authorities countered by taking funds of all banks in their control and remov- ing them to a safe storage in St. Louis. After the action at Lexington the Missouri State Guards etired to Neosho, where the Legislature convened and passed the ordinance of secession. On November 5, 1861, the Legislature passed an act authorizing the sum of ten million dollars for the Missouri State Guards in defense of the state. The money was to be raised by a bond issue carrying 10% interest. A $100 bond and a $500 bond were authorized along with three requisitions for bonds designed to circulate as currency and be con- vertible into bonds and four low denomination notes for general circulation. The requisitions were in the de- nominations of $20, $50, and $100 and were to be signed by the Governor. The general notes were in denominations of $1, $3, $4, and $4 1A and were to be signed by the State Treasurer. Apparently this currency- type bond was designed to provide the Guards with im- mediate funds for their operation.

This apparently ended the economic battle which the Guards fought since their inception. The currency authorized by the November 5th act was engraved and printed. However, none is found with legitimate signatures, which indicates that it was never released by the State Guard. A general issue of interest- bearing paper money was authorized by the State of Missouri on January 1, 1862, only two months after the authorization of the Defense Bond currency. This 1862 issue did get into circulation and was apparently for general state expenses: also, the absorption of the State Guards eliminated their need for state money and thus that currency was not released. Some of the interesting numismatic aspects of this $100 "Defense Bond" note are as follows: The note, of much better quality than the general issue of January 1, 1862, was engraved by Keatinge & Ball of Columbia, S. C. As such this firm did not exist prior to March 13, 1862; thus the printing could have been no earlier than March 1862, or four months after the authorization act. The vignette of Jefferson Davis is the same (except for frame and hatched background I as that of the i50 Confederate note of September 2, 1861, which first appeared on April 10, 1862. Fine quality bank note paper was used, both water- marked (T. C. C. & Co.) and unwatermarked. The paper was northern-made but was not used by Keatinge & Ball for the C. S. A. notes they printed. The prominence of the Missouri state seal was prob- ably to emphasize that the southern faction was the legitimate state government. Some suggested reading about the history of this period in Missouri is: Battles and Leaders, Volume I Grant Moves South, Bruce Catton The Coming Fury, Bruce Catton "Nathaniel Lyon," Civil War Times Illustrated, Febru- ary 1968 "The Siege of Lexington," Civil War Times Illustrated, August 1969 During the mid-19th century in Britain and Australia, country bank notes were so designed that they could be cut in half and sent through the mail in separate enve- lopes, thus foiling thieves.

Block of 12 overprinted with photocopy of full front page. of No. 5 "IZVESTIYA" of March 4, 1917. Block of eight overprinted with photocopy of special leaflet addi- tion to No. 4 "IZVESTIYA" of March 4, 1917. PACE 152 Paper Money WHOLE NO. 36 In the first half of March 1917, in stamp shops and even on newspaper stands in Petrograd, dealers began to offer for sale the Romanoff Jubilee stamps, as well as the currency stamps of the same series, with surcharges on the face of blocks of four. They consisted of a Phrygian Cap superimposed on two "ready-to-fight" crossed swords; inserted between the swords' blades was the three-word motto of the great French Revolution, "Fraternity - Equality - Liberty," in its Russian version- "Bratstvo-Ravenstvo-Svoboda." The 10 and 20 kop. cur- rency stamps were surcharged in black ink, and the 10, 15 and 20 kop. in red. Also at the same time, blocks of eight stamps of the same postage and currency issues were surcharged with a reproduction of a reduced photocopy of a leaflet, a special addition to No. 4 of the March 4, 1917 issue of "Izvestiya Petrogradskago Sovieta Rabochikh I Soldat- skikh Deputatov" (Izvestiya of the Petrograd Soviet of Workers' and Soldiers' Deputies) : "ABDICATION OF THE THRONE. The Deputy (Mr. I Karaulov arrived at the Duma and announced that the Emperor (Gosudar) Nicholas II had abdicated the throne in favor of the (Grand Duke) Mikhael Aleksandrovich. Mikhael Alek- sandrovich in his turn had abdicated the throne in favor of the people. Grandiose meetings and ovation ensued at the Duma. The ecstasy is beyond description." ("Gaz. Sovieta Raboch. i Soldatsk. Deputatov. Saiykin 6."— Newspaper of The Council of Workers' and Soldiers' Deputies. Saykin side street No. 6.) This surcharge is in black ink on all denominations and in red on the 20 kop. only. Still another surcharge was made, this one on blocks of 12 stamps. Beside the Romanoff Jubilee postage stamps, all three denominations of the currency stamps were surcharged with a reduced photocopy of a whole front page of the aforementioned "Izvestiya," but No. 5 of the same date of March 4, 1917. The translation of this surcharge will not serve a useful purpose to collectors of paper money; therefore we omit it here. The sur- charge is in black on all denominations and in red on the 10 and 20 kop. Scott's Standard Postage Stamp Catalogue does not list the Romanoff currency stamps with revolutionary over- prints because, as is stated in the note under No. 141 of Russia, they were issued as a private speculation without official sanction. But European stamp catalogues listed and priced them. The Soviet Chchin paper money cata- logue listed the currency stamps, but did not even mention those with revolutionary surcharges. N. I. Kardakoff listed them in the special Chapter XX of his catalogue dealing with, as he titled it, "The later-on use of the Rus- sian paper money for a purpose not related to monetary circulation." They are listed in undersection 1, "Propa- ganda Overprints Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, pages 362-363. The surcharged currency stamps in blocks of four, eight and 12 never circulated as a currency and we de- scribe them here for the sake of completeness of in- formation for fellow collectors.

Conlon of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing arranged for the printing of a souvenir sheet with a numismatic theme for collectors who visited the Bureau's exhibit at the 1970 A.N.A. convention in St. Louis. As long as the supply lasts, these sheets may be purchased I limit of five) by mail. The sheet is illustrated here in reduced size in black and white, although the collage of notes was printed in the actual colors of the various notes. An engraved plate was prepared and the collage, seven inches wide, was printed by the intaglio process, as is all of our paper money. The sheet is high-grade, light-weight card stock. It is highly unlikely that an additional printing will ever be made of this sheet. Orders for up to five sheets may be sent, with check or money order for $1.00 each payable to the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, to "Office Services Branch, Bureau of Engraving and Print- ing, Washington, D. C. 20226." To insure prompt handling, said Mr. Conlon, the mail- ing envelope should be marked "ANA Souvenir Sheet."

This compulsion of acceptance on the creditor which is inherent in legal tender is created by law. It should be noted, however, that a seller is privileged also to reject legal tender money presented to him in exchange for his goods, and indeed, numerous court cases have arisen because of such refusal. There are limitations of legal tender. In the case of subsidiary coin or fractional paper currency, a maximum amount prescribed by law can be tendered. If any more than this limit is tendered the recipient can reject it. For example. the amount of U.S. half-dollars were limited to ten dollars. and the nickel and copper coins to twenty-five cents until the Legal Tender Act of 1933 made all coins and currency of the United States legal tender. The Act did away with the former maximum amounts. One important aspect of legal tender is the factor of "forced circulation" (tours force, corso forzoso, zwang- skurs). This term signifies legal tender quality applied to inconvertible paper money or generally a money with no gold or silver backing—credit or fiat money. An excellent example of forced circulation occurred in Mexico during the revolution from 1913 to 1916. Paper currency. fiat money, was issued by many sources- .01 : i'S11114)."111'. ‘ l PAGE 1 54 Paper Money WHOLE NO. 36 States, armies, and business houses in Mexico at the time to fulfill the need for a circulating medium for exchange and payment. The governments in power as well as the rebel armies issued paper money of the inconvertible nature and declared such issues to he of forced circu- lation. In some cases, those who refused to accept the peso notes, notably shopkeepers, were punished. Another example is that of the German military occu- pation of areas of Europe during World War II, 1939-44. The German military authorities issued through the Reichskreditkassen bank occupation currency denomi- nated in Reichsmarks, the German national money of account. During this period there were a number of legal decrees which declared the reichsmark to be a legal tender currency alongside the local currencies in areas such as occupied Poland. Luxemburg, and Eupen, Malmedy, and Moresnet. The government has the power to declare a money legal tender, as this provides a means of payment capable of settling legal questions arising out of exchange, con- tracts and other deferred payments. The government can declare what is to be received as legal tender money, the refusal of which can lead to litigation between the government and the individual or between two indi- viduals. Shown here are specimens of paper currency, each of which bears a legal tender legend. The first is a 5 peso note (reverse) of the State of Oaxaca issued in 1915 toward the end of the Mexican revolution. The legend in Spanish states: "This certificate of credit is of forced circulation (circulacion Jorzosa) and has unlimited circulatory power within the territory of the State of Oaxaca." The second specimen is a 100 dollar bill of the United States. The legend over the "100" to the left of Franklin's picture reads: "This note is legal tender for all debts, public and private." The third specimen is a 5 cents fractional currency note of the Government of Hong Kong. The legend reads: "These notes are legal tender for the payment of any amount not exceeding two dollars." This note has the legal tender clause with maximum amount stated. Library Notes Mr. J. E. Charlton has furnished us with a copy of his enlarged and revised 1971 Canadian catalog. Eighty-six pages of it are devoted to Canadian and Newfoundland paper money. This greatly enlarged section now includes chartered, broken bank and defunct notes and merchant's scrip as well as all government and Bank of Canada issues. Moreover, the listings are not mere bare-bones tabulations but include information about origins of the notes and designs in addition to the pricing. C-5, Charlton, J. E.

Obverse and reverse of Hawaii inverted overprint An unusual note known to only a few collectors is the $10 Hawaiian inverted overprint. This error is not mentioned in any of the fine paper money references available and came to my attention recently for the first time in a discussion with the well-known collector and dealer, Tom McAfee of Honolulu, Hawaii. During World War II , it was feared that an invasion of Hawaii might take place, and notes with the Hawaii overprint were prepared. If an invasion did occur, it would be simple to declare the overprint notes void; they then would be valueless in the hands of the enemy. On July 15, 1942, all U. S. currency in circulation in the Hawaiian. Islands was withdrawn, and the special "Hawaii" overprint placed in use. The regular currency could not be used after the above date and all was with- drawn through banks and other channels. The overprints were issued in the $1, $5, $10 and $20 denominations. The $1 surcharge was on the 1935A Silver Certificate, and the other denominations were on the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco. All of them have surcharges on both sides and the signatures of Julian with Morgenthau with the brown seal on the Federal Reserve N otes. The scarcest one is the 1934 $20 note, which is quite difficult to obtain in crisp condition. At the present time there are only a few specimens known of the in- verted overprint. Possibly this brief article will bring a few other pieces out of hiding. WHOLE NO. 36 Paper Money PAGE 155 Famous Americans on the One Dollar Educational Note By Howard W. Parshall (Concluded From PAPER MONEY No. 35, Page 115) MILITARY MEN WILLIAM T. SHERMAN (1820-1891) General Sherman was a Union general in the Civil War and the commanding general of the United States Army for 14 years. His greatest feat in the war was to march an army across Georgia, "from Atlanta to the sea," and then through South Carolina. On the way, he destroyed the South's last economic resources. Because he waged economic warfare against a civilian society. Sherman has been called the first modern general. Sherman was a major general in the regular army at the end of the war. He succeeded Grant in 1869 as commanding general of the army with the rank of full general. OLIVER H. PERRY (1785-1819) Naval Officer Perry became noted for his heroism during the War of 1812. He was in command of the Lake Erie naval force. He made his headquarters at Put-in-Bay, off the Ohio shore, and on Sept. 10, 1813, sailed from there to fight the British. His fleet included nine small ships, the largest of which were the Lawrence, commanded by Perry, and the Niagara, commanded by Jesse D. Elliott. During the battle, the Niagara hung back and took very little part in the fighting. The Lawrence suffered many casualties, and finally was disabled. Perry then rowed to the Niagara. Under his command. the Niagara kept the British from boarding the Lawrence. Two British ships became entangled. and the Niagara raked them with broadsides. The British fleet of six vessels sur- rendered after about 15 minutes. Perry then sent to General William H. Harrison. the military commander in the West, the famous message, "We have met the enemy, and they are ours." DAVID G. FARRAGUT (1801-1870) Naval Officer Farragut, an American naval officer, won fame at the Civil War battle of Mobile Bay with his slogan : "Damn the torpedoes. Full steam ahead!" Congress created the rank of full admiral for him in 1866. He showed his loyalty to the Union when he gave up his home in Norfolk, Va., at the start of the Civil War to fight on the Northern side. He took command of the important Western Gulf Blockading Squadron, and cooperated brilliantly with General B. F. Butler and General E. R. S. Canby in operations against New Or- leans and the forts at Mobile Bay. He won the nick- name of "Old Salamander" when he ran his boats under heavy gunfire between New Orleans forts on Apr. 28, 1862, and the Mobile Bay forts on Aug. 5, 1864. INVENTORS SAMUEL MORSE (1791-1872) Developed Telegraph, Portrait Painter Morse developed the first successful electric telegraph in the United States and invented the Morse code. In addition, he became one of the best early American por- trait painters. He helped found the National Academy of Design and became its first president in 1826. Morse first became interested in the electric telegraph in 1832. He was on board the ship Sully on his way home from Europe. He learned during a dinner con- versation at sea that men had found they could send electricity instantly over any known length of wire. From that moment on, he was on fire with the idea of an electric telegraph. After five years of work, he demonstrated the telegraph in 1837. He hoped the men who saw it would invest money to help him complete it. They found it interesting and amusing but would not invest in it. In 1838, Morse took the new machine to Washington in an effort to ob- tain money from Congress to test the telegraph. Congress refused. Years of disappointment followed. He made a trip to England and France but could find no support. In 1843 Morse made one more attempt to interest Congress. The last night of the session, long after Morse had given up hope, Congress passed a bill appropriating $30,000 to test the telegraph. He strung the telegraph line from the United States Supreme Court room in the Capital to the city of Baltimore, Md. On May 24, 1844, Morse stood among a large group of spectators and tapped out his famous message, "What hath God wrought." ROBERT FULTON (1765-1815) Inventor. Civil Engineer PACE 156 Paper Money WHOLE NO. 36 He is best known for designing and building the Cler- mont, the first commercially successful steamboat. He had been interested for many years in the idea of steam propulsion for a boat. But his first enthusiasm was for canal development. He designed new types of canal boats and a system of inclined planes to replace canal locks. About 1797, he turned his attention to the submarine. This project claimed most of his energies until 1806. His experimental submarines were able to dive and surface, and he succeeded in blowing up anchored test craft. But the problem of propulsion under water was never satisfactorily solved. Fulton directed the building of the steamboat Clermont in New York in 1807. On Aug. 17, 1807, this vessel be- gan its first successful trip under steam power up the Hudson River from New York City to Albany. The Clermont was not the first steamboat to be built, but it was the first to become a practical and financial success. WRITERS NATHANIEL HAWTHORNE (1804-1864) Novelist The Scarlet Letter (1850), a symbolic novel concern- ing Hawthorne's Puritan forefathers, is one of the great- est novels ever written in America. Hawthorne was concerned with the timeless themes of sin, alienation, and redemption. He defined his writing as romance, and defined romance as a method of prob- ing "the depths of our common nature." To him, "ro- mance" meant confronting reality rather than evading or escaping it. He found the best material for his writing in New Eng- land history. He explored in his fiction those aspects of experience where psychology, morality, and myth meet and blend. He drew much from Edmund Spenser and John Bunyan. his favorite authors, and continued their tradition in outlook and technique. Hawthorne's work forms a link between the older allegories, such as Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress, and present-day symbolism, as in the works of William Faulkner. GEORGE BANCROFT (1800-1891) Historian, Teacher, Diplomat In 1834, he published the first volume of his 10-volume History of the United States, which brought him recog- nition as an outstanding historian. Bancroft was the first American to attempt to write a comprehensive his- tory of the United States from its beginnings to the rati- fication of the Constitution. His volumes ran through 25 editions, and he revised them once completely. For over 50 years, his was the best known and most widely read American history. He was appointed Secretary of the Navy in 1845 by President James Polk. and helped establish the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis. From 1846 to 1849, Bancroft represented the United States as minister to Great Britain. He later served as U. S. minister to Germany. RALPH WALDO EMERSON (1803-1882) Essayist, Poet He wrote, he said. "to awake in man and to raise the feeling of his worth." To own many things or to be popular, he believed. does not matter. "The one thing in the world of value, is the active soul." Each man must think for himself and act on his own best instincts. In the closing lines of his essay on "Self-Reliance" he wrote: "A political victory, a rise of rents, the recovery of your sick or the return of your absent friend, or some other favorable event raises your spirits, and you think good days are preparing for you. Do not believe it. Nothing can bring you peace but yourself. Nothing can bring you peace but the triumph of principles." He applies these ideas to scholarship in "The Ameri- can Scholar," a lecture which he delivered at Harvard in 1837. Oliver Wendell Holmes called it "our intellec- tual Declaration of Independence." In it, Emerson ad- vised his hearers to learn directly from life, then to know the past through books, and finally to express themselves in action. JAMES FENIMORE COOPER (1789-1851) Novelist Cooper is generally considered the first important American novelist. He invented the sea-romance type of adventure story and the story of wilderness flight and pursuit. His best sea stories include The Pilot (1823) and The Red Rover (1827). The Leather-Stocking Tales, which include his five best-known novels, are his best frontier stories. Cooper won fame for his rapid-fire narratives and for several strong, well-defined characters. He liked to read aloud to his family. One day he threw aside the book be was reading and declared "I could write a better book than that myself." His wife dared him to try. The result was Precaution (1820), a novel patterned on the works of Jane Austen and set in Eng- land. He wrote 50 books, including 33 novels, during his 30-year literary career. In his later years, he wrote many travel books, political works, and a history of the U. S. Navy. He is recognized as one of the most im- portant social critics of his day. WASHINGTON IRVING (1783.1859) Essayist. Short Story Writer WHOLE NO. 36 Paper Money PAGE 157 Irving was the first American writer to gain fame in other nations as well as at home. His short stories and essays reflect his genuine charm, sense of humor, and pleasant disposition. Such characters as Rip Van Winkle and Ichabod Crane still bring smiles to new generations of readers. He was the last of 11 children. He was named for George Washington. His older brothers encouraged his interest in reading and writing. He loved poetry and books of travel, but disliked school, and left it when he was 16. His brothers sent him to Europe in 1804 because of poor health. He traveled in France, Italy, and England for two years. In 1806, he returned to the United States, broader in knowledge, culture, and sympathies, and in much better health. In 1815 he returned to Europe where he represented the family interests until the business failed in 1818. After 17 years abroad he was welcomed back home as a successful American author. In 1849, he published his delightfully sympathetic Oliver Goldsmith. After some lesser works, he finished his monumental and scholarly Life of George Washington (1859). HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW (1807-1882) Poet Longfellow was the most influential American poet of his day. He enjoyed great popularity during his lifetime, and did much to determine the American idea of poetry. He was greatly gifted both as a writer of lyrical verse and as a narrative poet. He was also an outstanding scholar and a distinguished professor. An excellent linguist, Longfellow pioneered in teach- ing techniques and helped establish the modern languages as an important part of American education. In his 17 years at Harvard, he gained an outstanding reputation as a professor. He retired from teaching in 1854 to give all his time to literature. The next year he published The Song of Hiawatha, an important poem about an Indian hero. Longfellow's most important single achiciement as a scholar was his translation in 1867 of Dante's Divine Comedy. In a gigantic anthology, The Poets and Poetry of Europe (1854), he tried to introduce American read- ers to many world writers.

The firm had its capital stock supported by notes rather than cash funds and had violated the National Bank Act. It has been generally stated that George W. Fox had been the presi- dent of this bank. This is true; however, he was not president for the entire period of its history. George W. Fox was first known in Montana Territory when he was a cashier in one of Hussey, Dallier & Com- pany's banking houses. Letters have been found regard. ing correspondence between Fox and C. L. Dahler, who headed the firm's Montana operations. Fox was asso- ciated with this firm in Helena for the period of time they operated, which was from 1866 to 1871. In Decem- ber 1867, he was placed in charge of the Helena office when Dahler went to the Virginia City office. When Hussey, Dahler & Company sold out their banking interest in Montana, Fox formed partnerships with C. J. Lyster and William Roe in the banking house of Fox, Lyster & Roe. This banking operation lasted from 1871 until 1873; in May, 1873 the partners dissolved their banking house and organized the Peoples National Bank. Fox was elected president, with C. J. Lyster as cashier. William Roe only remained in the business as a bank director. The August 27, 1875 issue of the Helena Daily Herald carried a notice that C. J. Lyster had died in San Fran- cisco, where he had been living for several months, re- covering from a chronic illness. The August 28, 1875 issue of the paper carried the following notice: At the meeting of the Directors of the Peoples National Bank, held this day at their Banking house in this city, the death of C. J. Lyster, Cashier was officially an- nounced. Proper resolutions of sorrow were adopted, and entered upon the minutes. The vacancy in the board was thereupon filed by the election of C. L. Dahler, Esq. George W. Fox tendered his resignation as President, which was accepted, and the place filled by the choice of Mr. Dahler. Mr. Fox was then elected Cashier, and, thus organized, the board now stands." Thus, an important change in the bank took place. It appears on the surface that Fox favored having his old boss Dahler as president, so he could continue operating the bank in the capacity of cashier, whose duties he was carrying out while Lyster was ill. Also, Dahler was a prominent citizen well known in banking circles, and was a logical choice. Advertisements in the Helena Daily Herald on August 31, 1875 listed the new officers, with C. L. Dahler as president and George W. Fox as cashier. In that issue they reported Paid in Capital of $100,000, and Authorized Capital of $500,000. Also, they listed as their associate bank the First National Bank of Bozeman, and were Designated Depository and Financial Agents of U.S. It is interesting to note that the First National Bank of Bozeman suffered the same fate as the Peoples National Bank, and one day after the Peoples National Bank had closed, the Bozeman bank went into receivership on Sep- tember 14, 1878. Fox apparently remained in Helena and Montana only for a short time, as he is traced to Murietta, California in 1879, where he operated the Bank- ing House of George W. Fox until after 1900. Dahler stayed in Helena and continued to be a prominant citizen in Montana affairs. No trace is found of William Roe after 1878. The only remaining testament of this bank and the men associated with it is an unissued group of Certificates of Deposit in denominations of $5-10-20-50, engraved by the National Bank Note Company. These notes are beautiful examples of paper currency and one of the few examples of denominational currency ever to be engraved for use in Montana other than National Cur- rency. Outstanding National Bank Note circulation in 1878 was $89,000. The Winner's Circle Two recent SPMC member-winners are William Bish of Eureka. Cal., and Russell Hartman of Freeport, Ill. Mr. Bish took the "best of show" award at the Eureka Coin Club exhibit at Redwood Acres Fairgrounds for a display incorporating both U. S. and other world paper money. Mr. Hartman received the award for the "most educational exhibit" at the Nebraska Numismatic As- sociation convention at Lincoln. It was a family affair, with Mrs. Hartman taking a first place in foreign coins. Mr. Hartman writes that he has been collecting paper money for five years and prefers all types of large size notes. At present he is concentrating on Illinois na- tionals. Maurice Burgett's exhibit "Currency of the Confederate Indians," which was illustrated along with its owner in PAPER MONEY No. 31, continues to go from victory to victory. The latest honor heaped on it is the D. C. Wil- mer award for obsolete paper money given at the 1970 A.N.A. Show. Just before that. Mr. Burgett and his In- dians took the first in paper money and a special educa- tional award at the Penn-Ohio show held in Indianapolis in June. And going back to November, 1969, they won the best of show award at the Tennessee State event in Nashville. In addition to the usual ANA ribbons, former SPMC president George Wait also received the Julian R. Blanch- ard Award for his display of obsolete bank notes with matching vignette engravings. A report of this was unin- tentionally omitted from the report of the tenth annual meeting published in PAPER MONEY No. 35.

PEEL, UNIQUE COLLECTION FOR SALE 1929 NATIONAL BANK NOTES 48 NUMBER ONE SHEETS SIX NOTES PER SHEET The depression and many bank failures resulted in the rapid disappearance of this series. After much diligent research, less than 600 of these sheets are reported, with one sheet each for the states of Arizona, Delaware and Nevada, also, six additional states with sheets on only two banks each. This collection consists of sheets from 48 states-Alaska and Hawaii are not included as there are no known sheets on these states, but the majority of the rare sheets aforementioned are included. Needless to say, this collection can not be duplicated; there- fore, I would like to see it become the possession of a serious and discriminating collector.
