The collection, presented by the Hanses family of Chicago, includes election ban ners, small pieces of cable and wood with historical significance, bullets, and Confederate and Continental money. Items recall striking moments from the Civil War battlefields, the campaigning during the Harrison-Cleveland Presiden tial election, and the World's Columbian exposition. In the series of Civil War souvenirs are bullets from the famous battlefields of 1863, Ix gt;okout Mountain, Mission Ridge, which was General Bragg's head quarters, and from Chickamauga. The bullets are small in size and similar to those of modern warfare. Stationery issued to the Army during the war bears in either corner what might be considered the forerunner of modern cartooning. Representations of King Cot ton and an appeal for the first nurses under Clara Barton were used on the stationery. The collection is further enriched by paper currency issued by the Continental Congress in 1775, the Confederacy of 1861-1864, the Dominion of Canada 1870, and United States fractional currency of 1863.
