3¢ Nesbitt entire with manuscript postmark of “Big Bend La. / Feby 4/61” – FIRST DAY of the Montgomery convention that created the Confederate States. Also, UNLISTED in the CSA Catalog under Independent Sate and CSA Use of U.S. Postage. Neither is it listed in the stampless section; it is a SCARCE SMALL TOWN, as further indicated by lack of handstamped markings. Importantly, it is listed as a post office in the 1862 U.S. Postal Register. It still exists today as an unincorporated community in Avoyelles Parish. Its name comes from its location on a meander of the Bayou Des Glaises, which is located about 80 miles north of Baton Rouge. Envelope is addressed to Charles Everett, Liberty, Amite Co[unty] Missi. Slightly reduced at left and couple tiny edge faults. IMPORTANT CSA USE for any exhibit. $950.
