NEW BOOK: SOUTHERN CROSS OF HONOR, 2ND EDITION

The Southern Cross of Honor: Historical Notes and Trial List of Varieties, 2nd Ed.

Little Greybook #2a begins with a history of the Southern Cross of Honor, followed by detailed illustrations of the thirteen varieties identified by the author. This is followed by an examination of several forgeries and reproductions which are unfortunately also out there. It then takes a look at the four types of applications used by eligible individuals to apply to receive a Southern Cross of Honor, followed by a gallery of a few selected Crosses. Lastly the book lists some 574 veterans who received their Southern Cross of Honor on April 26th, 1900, the first day of the bestowals - 300 in Athens, Georgia, and 274 in Atlanta.

This second edition is primarily for those who perhaps missed the first edition in 2003, or just recently became interested in the subject. Most of the new information herein is mainly clarifications of the reproductions and forgeries.
