HOOKER, JOSEPH
(1814 - 1879) Union major general who commanded the Army of the Potomac only to be defeated at the hands of Stonewall Jackson at Chancellorsville. Nice content A.L.S. adding rank as major general, 2pp. 8vo., Garden City, Apr. 30, 1877, to noted photographer Abraham Bogardus asking for his help in photographing Hooker's painting of: "...a famous battle, of our late War…my object is, to secure a popular, and saleable, representation of the painting…". Very good.
