Generals Barlow & Geary Signatures
"WINNERS WILL BE NOTIFIED AFTER THE AUCTION ENDS BY THE AUCTIONEER ONCE ALL BIDS HAVE BEEN PROCESSED TO DETERMINE THE WINNER FOR EACH LOT."
Signatures of two extraordinary Civil War Union Generals: Francis Barlow and John Geary. Barlow is one of only a handful of Generals (Confederate or Union) who rose from the rank of Private upon enlisting in the war to General by its end. Geary is noted not only for his Civil War performance but also for serving as Governor of Kansas and Pennsylvania and as the first mayor of San Francisco in 1850. Signatures along with military rank appear on each side of a 4.5'' x 3.25'' slip of paper. Paper is toned, else near fine.
