    US #CSA1 TIED TO COVER/BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH DR. JOSEPH JONES. Shipped with USPS Priority Mail
    **NEED TO SELL so my disabled child can go to camp. COVID and quarantine has been really hard on her. Only 1 camp is open for her to attend but it is expensive. 00 plus costs of tshirts and things needed for camp for a two week session. Please if anyone can help, it is GREATLY appreciated.  Time is limited to get registration and fees paid as camp slots are filling up fast. I have lowered the offer amount to 00 which is the amount needed for her camp fees.
    **Camp update!!! She qualified for a partial scholarship.  Instead of 00 we only need to raise 00!  Yay. Somewhat better! Good wishes and prayers for us to raise this money.  Thank you in advance!
    This lot contains US #CSA1 Stamp tied to judgement order from Sidney T. Douglas of Mobile, Alabama addressed to HM and B? Clarke of Palo Alto (Clay County) established in 1846.
    In 1987, the townsite was listed on the National Register of Historic Places under the name of "Town of Palo Alto." Nearly 200 acres were listed on the Register as part of the community.
    This stamp is in excellent condition despite the condition of the cover. Mystic stamps has this stamp valued at 5 tied to a cover. This is a very good asking price.
    Also in this lot is an 1899 biographical sketch reprint of Dr. Joseph Jones.
    According to a Tulane University article,  "Dr. Jones was first to discover the plasmodium of malarial fever. An advocate for public health, as president of the Louisiana Board of Health, Dr. Jones fought many pitched battles with United States federal officials and his Tulane colleagues over authority with respect to quarantine laws in the state. A surgeon and medical inspector for the Confederate Army, he published a famous three folio volume on conditions at Andersonville, the notorious Confederate prison camp in Virginia.
    Between 1855 and 1895 Dr.Jones published at least 105 papers in medical and scientific journals, four large volumes of "Medical and Surgical Memoirs," plus published annual and occasional reports when he was President of the State Board of Health, miscellaneous monographs and short articles. Joseph Jones claimed that he was the first to see the typhoid bacillus, in 1862 to 1864. At the Ninth International Medical Congress in Washington (1887) he laid claim to being the discoverer of the malarial parasite (New Orleans Medical and Surgical Journal, 1878, Vol. VI, pp. 138-156)  in his article titled: "Medico-legal Evidence relating to the detection of Human Blood, presenting the  alterations characteristic of Malarial Fever, on the clothing of a man, accused of the murder of Narcisse Arrieux, December 27th, 1876, near Donaldsonville." This is a good detective story as well as a scientific classic."
    I have only found a digital version of this biographical sketch making this find extremely rare.
    There are 3 stamps in an envelope attached to the booklet. I will not remove it for fear of damaging the booklet. I am uncertain as to why these stamps are attached. I purchased it this way.
