ALEXANDER  SANDIE  PENDELTON D.S.
<b>100. ALEXANDER "SANDIE" PENDLETON</b> (1840-1864) Stonewall Jackson's youngest staff member and aide, who Jackson apparently loved like a son, killed a few days short of his 24th birthday while trying to rally the troops at Fisher's Hill. Rare war-date D.S. "<i>A. S. Pendleton</i>" as Jackson's aide, 3pp. legal folio, "Hd. Qrs, 2nd Army Corps", Mar. 21, 1863, headed "<i>General Orders No. 20</i>". Pendleton's document summarizes the finding of six courts martial involving Confederate soldiers and officers, with charges including desertion, looting of liquor from a private home (for which the offender received six months hard labor with a ball and chain), conduct to the prejudice of good order, and so on. A few stray spots and short, very minor fold tears, overall very good.<b>$700-900</b>
