 Uses of the CSA 5 Cent Green to and from Arkansas Minimize

The Confederate 5 cent Green is one of the most-used CSA values in Arkansas, and is the only adhesive known used in many towns, since the occupation of the Northern half of the state started early in 1862.  Covers are illustrated where I have scans.  Scans for those I do not have, or scans of covers not listed here are welcome.

The list of covers with CSA #1 mailed into Arkansas is at the bottom of the page
