Union general (1817–1873). Canby was assassinated during a peace talk with the Modoc tribe of Northern Carolina during the Indian Wars, making him the only US general casualty during that period. War-dated ALS signed “Edw. Canby,” one lined page, 5 x 8, inlaid to a 7.5 x 10.5 sheet, August 22, 1864. Canby inquires after legal standings, in part: “Are there any charges against Mr. Thomas…of 238 Court Street, N. O. If there are will you please let me know their nature.” A horizontal crease lightly affecting one letter of the signature, light creasing, some scattered soiling, and a few stray marks and pencil notations, otherwise fine condition.
