Brigadier General of the Confederate Provisional Army (1818–1893) who commanded the forces at Charleston, where he ordered the bombardment of Fort Sumter. ALS signed “G. T. Beauregard,” one page, lightly-lined, 5 x 8, November 17, 1882. Letter to General Wright. In part: “Your package of ‘copies’ of the 13th inst. Has been received. Just as I was leaving for N.Y. where I hope to be on the 20th at the N.Y. hotel. I have ordered Gen’l Hapgood’s report copied & the original copy…to you. I don’t think I have a copy of it among my files.” Cloth matted and framed with a portrait and a biographical plaque to an overall size of 22 x 25. In fine condition, with intersecting folds, a few light brushes to text, and a bit of mild toning and soiling. During these years, Beauregard and Jefferson Davis were engaged in a series of bitter published accusations and counter-accusations blaming each other for the Confederate defeat. Oversized.
