Confederate major general (1836–1906), known as “Fightin’ Joe,” who led his troops in vigorous opposition to Sherman during the Atlanta campaign. Three items: ALS, signed “Joseph Wheeler,” one page, 7 x 8.5, April 14, 1903. Letter of response to Col. James Dunkins. In part: “I will start at work & do best I can on sketch of Gen. Polk. How many words would you recommend.” The second letter, dated April 16, 1903, reads, in part: "I have drawn off a little about Gen. Polk. I regret I could not make it better.” And an unsigned eight page handwritten manuscript, 8.5 x 15, no date. Manuscript reads, in small part, “On November 7 his troops crossed the Mississippi river and fought the battle of Belmont Missouri, the opposing force being commanded by General U. S. Grant. The advance of the federal forces from Paducah compelled the retirement of Gen. Polk’s troops from Columbus…At the battle of Shiloh Gen. Polk commanded the First Army Corps.” In very good condition, with scattered light toning and soiling, and tape reinforcement to horizontal folds of manuscript.
