Summary |
Sutlers and their Tokens, 1861-1866, including a tentative list of sutler tokens and scrip. Reprinted from The Numismatist, this article outlines the history and practices of Civil War sutlers - persons authorized to sell provisions to the troops. Because sutlers were often "attached" to a company or regiment, they developed unique scrips and tokens to keep their customer base. |
