JOHN H. WINDER
(1800 - 1865) Confederate brigadier general and commander of the Confederate Libby Prison, Belle Isle and the notorious prison at Andersonville. He escaped the hangman, dying just before war's end. War-date A.E.S. in pencil on the verso of a letter from H. D. Whitcumb, 1p. lg. 8vo., Richmond, Mar. 28, 1862, regarding: "...a considerable amount of whiskey in one Depot here which we would like to have removed...". Winder's endorsement reads in full: "The Provost Marshall will attend to this & take the necessary steps. J. H. Winder Brig". Very good.

Estimate: $150 - 200.
