ANDERSON, ROBERT
(1805 - 1871) Union brigadier general, the "Hero of Fort Sumter", who refused Confederate demands to surrender the fort and ultimately endured two days of bombardment before capitulating. An early war-date partially-printed D.S. "Robert Anderson" 1p. 4to., Louisville, Ky., Oct. 7, 1861 appointing Andrew J. McKay as assistant quartermaster with the rank of captain. McKay served throughout the war and eventually was made brevet brigadier general. Very good.
