| Opmerkingen |
The Bank of Chattanooga was chartered in 1853 and operated through the turbulent secession period, continuing to issue notes as Tennessee left the Union in June 1861. J. Manouvrier was a New Orleans engraver and printer active in the antebellum South, supplying plate work to numerous Southern state banks during the period when Northern printers — particularly the American Bank Note Company in New York — became politically and practically inaccessible.
Union forces occupied Chattanooga in September 1863, effectively ending the bank's operations. Notes dated 1861 represent the earliest issues of what became a very short-lived wartime circulation.
