This capable Union general from Connecticut fought at First Bull Run and elsewhere, but is most remembered for leading the victory at the Second Battle at Fort Fisher in North Carolina in 1865; post-war he served as military commander of the Dakota Territory (1866-69, 1872-86). Handsome full signature in brown ink on a 1¼" X 2 3/4" slip, below which he pens "Bvt. M. Genl." Near fine. Handsomely matted in brown below a Civil War-era steel-engraved head-and-shoulders portrait of him in uniform. Near fine. Tiny ding in mat at lower left. Framed in a simple 3/4" black wood frame (overall dimensions 9 3/4" X 12"). Quite an attractive presentation.
