CLARK, CHARLES
(1811 - 1877) Confederate brigadier general wounded at Shiloh and Baton Rouge, arrested for treason at the end of the war. War-date partly-printed official form D.S. "Chas. Clark Brig. Gen. Cmdg.", 1p. 4to., [Bowling Green, Ky.], Jan. 7, 1862, on Special Requisition No. 40 form requisitioning $5,000.00 to pay the staff and brigade officers of Clark's command, then stationed at Hopkinsville, Kentucky. An interesting comment is made at the bottom of form that there is no money to be had from the pay department! Also bears an A.E.S. by WILLIAM J. HARDEE (1815-1873) on verso, approving the request, signed adding rank of major general. Also signed by Charles S. Severson who became General Nathaniel Forrest's brigade quartermaster in 1864. Near fine.
