Confederate army officer (1831–1879) who, after graduating near the bottom of his West Point class, served in California and Texas. Resigning to join the Confederate service, Hood commanded a brigade at Second Bull Run and Antietam and a division at Gettysburg, where he was seriously wounded. Ink signature, “John B. Hood, Bvt. 2nd Lt., Infy,” on a light blue 2.75 x 1 slip clipped from a roster or similar document. Matted and framed with a portrait of Hood, to an overall size of 8.5 x 10.5. In very good condition, with a circular spot of toning to right edge, affecting a small portion of last name of signature and rank, and some stray ink marks above and below signature.
