CSA General P. G. T. Beauregard Carte de Visite
<B>C.S.A. General P. G. T. Beauregard <I>Carte de Visite</B></I>.</B></I> Born in Louisiana, Beauregard was the first prominent Confederate general with an important early victory at First Manassas. He would eventually rise to become one of only eight full generals in the C.S.A. army. After the war, he wrote several books, served as a railroad executive (even inventing a system of cable-powered street cars), and served in various public positions in his home state. This head and shoulders portrait, in uniform, is laid down to a double-bordered CDV card. Condition is fine with general light soiling and bumped corners. His name is written lightly in pencil beneath the image, and "1863" is notated on the verso. No backmark.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Flat Material, Small (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
