Controversial and colorful American politician and military officer (1819–1914). After discovering his young wife was having an affair, Sickles shot the man, the son of Francis Scott Key, and managed to secure an acquittal with the then-novel defense of temporary insanity. During the Civil War, Sickles served as a general and lost his leg in a famous incident at the Battle of Gettysburg. Bank check, 8.5 x 2.75, filled out and signed “D. Sickles,” payable to Martin Kelly for $11.35, December 18, 1885. In fine condition, with expected bank punch hole and cancellation cut to the body, mild toning, and show-through from a signature endorsement on the back.
