HOOD, JOHN BELL.
(1831 - 1879) Confederate Lieutenant General who led the ""Texas Brigade"" at Second Bull Run and Antietam, and under Longstreet Fredericksburg, Gettysburg, and Chickamauga, where he lost a limb. Rare A.L.S. ""J. B. Hood"", 1p. 8vo., New Orleans, June 15, 1874, in part: ""àI send you three copies each, of the last two nos. of my articles. These I happened to haveàThe N. Orleans Times may have some leftàalthough I doubt it since the first was all taken soon after publication. When I have finished, I shall place the whole in pamphlet formà"". From the end of the war until his death in 1879, Hood was a prolific author of articles which essentially defended his performance in the conflict. Light offsetting, one weak vertical fold, overall very good.
