(1818 - 1893) Confederate major general who initiated the attack on Fort Sumter which started the Civil War. Beauregard also led with great distinction at First Bull Run, Shiloh, and in the defense of Richmond. A.L.S. ""G. T. Beauregard"", 1p. 8vo., New Orleans, Dec. 6, 1884 to the Sherman Publishing Co. in New York. In part: ""àI have received the extra copy of vol. 1st of the 'Pictorial Battles of the late War, for which please accept my thanks.
