HARTSUFF, GEORGE L.
(1830 - 1874) Union major general who was severally at Antietam who led forces at Cedar Mountain and Second Bull Run. A.L.S. ""Geo. L. Hartsuff"", 1p. 4to., New Orleans Jan. 23, 1866 to the colonel of the 96th U.S.C. T., in part: ""àThe bearer Mr. Savage is a friend of mine and desirous of securing hands for a plantation. If you can be of any service to himàI will consider it a personal favorà"". An especially ironic document, a Union general seeking black soldiers to work on a Southern plantation! Very good.
