Partly-printed vellum DS as president, one page, 13.5 x 17, May 25, 1854. President Pierce appoints Charles S. Winder as “First Lieutenant in the Third Regiment of Artillery.” Signed at the conclusion by Pierce and countersigned by Jefferson Davis as secretary of war, “Jeffer. Davis.” Complete US War Office seal is affixed to the top. In very good condition, with intersecting folds, scattered foxing, toning, and soiling, and original docketing to the upper left corner. Winder went on to serve as a Confederate general in the Civil War and was killed in action during the Battle of Cedar Mountain; upon his death, Stonewall Jackson praised his ‘ardent patriotism and military pride.’
