Contact seller5-star sellerThe namesake son of the Florida senator and Confederacy's Secretary of the Navy (1812-73) himself served in the Confederate Navy, then was elected Florida representative (1891-95) and senator (1897-1907). Printed DS, 1p, 8" X 3 3/4", Pensacola, Florida, n.y. [likely 1897]. Near fine. Lightly age toned. Printed receipt noting "RE…CEIVED of the Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Park Commission, one copy of its Atlas of the Chickamauga and Chattanooga battlefields," boldly signed by the new senator ("Hon. S.R. Mallory") in thick brown ink, also noting his address as "Pensacola, Fla." Congress first printed this commemorative volume in 1897, thus dating this signature; it sold well enough that a second printing of 4000 sets appeared in 1901. An attractive piece.
