(1827 - 1889) Confederate major general who led the Alabama Brigade at Chickamauga and Dalton, later assumed command of A.P. Hill's division and surrendered with Johnston in the Carolinas. Rare war-date A.E.S. ""H. D. Clayton Brig. Genl"" on a 3"" x 3 1/2"" slip removed from a document bearing the dateline: ""Hd. Qs. Claytons Brig. 16th. Jany 1864"". A few small holes well clear of signature and endorsement, small tear at top left corner, otherwise very good.
