Confederate Bond, One Thousand Dollars, 1864
Samson and Pae foundry and machine shop was nestled among other Richmond, Virginia, industrial facilities. During the Civil War, the firm made and finished weapons, and supplied artillery projectiles. They acquired this bond in September 1864. A few months later, Confederate troops abandoned Richmond and set fire to supply warehouses. The fire raged out of control, destroying the Samson and Pae foundry. |
