1890 $2 Treasury Note General James 'Birdseye' McPherson Grades vf, very fine Signatures Rosecrans/Huston. FR-353 1890 Treasury Notes are special for many reasons. Not only are they some of the most beautiful notes to have ever been printed on an intaglio printing press but they are also inherently rare. With a design change within a year’s time, the Treasury Notes of 1890 quickly became a much plainer and simply put boring version Series of 1891 Treasury Notes. The distinctive portrait on the face of this note is that of Union Major General James Birdseye McPherson. This series of notes was designed in celebration of the strength of the Union, undoubtedly effective at a time when many Americans remembered their own experiences of the Civil War. McPherson, killed in the July 1864 Battle of Atlanta, served as chief engineer under General U.S. Grant in 1862, and later served in the Vicksburg Campaign (1862-1863) and the Battle of Shiloh (1864), after which he was given command of the Army of the Tennessee. His death is notable in more than one respect. The army he faced in Atlanta was led by Confederate General John Bell Hood, who had been McPherson's classmate at West Point, illustrating how close associates and even brothers found themselves opposing each other on the field of battle. Additionally he was the second highest ranking Union officer killed in the war.
