COUCH, DARIUS N.
(1822 - 1897) Union major general who led a division at Second Bull Run, Antietam, Chancellorsville and Fredericksburg. Disgusted with Hooker, he offered to resign and was instead transferred to the West. Sarcastic A.L.S. ""D. N. Couch"" 1p. 4to., Norwalk, Ct., Aug. 30, 1893, to ex-general William B. Franklin, in part: ""...I should have acknowledged the script of [?] book. I am much interested as it speaks of the many people and places I have known. So far he eulogizes two men - Gen. Scott and himself..."". One letter in signature blurred, a small stain at bottom, overall very good.
