Manuscript DS, signed “Ballinger Bank for Appellant Kerby,” ten pages, 8 x 12.5, 1854. Lengthy legal document, headed at the top, “Appeal from Austin County,” in the case between “Hedgepeth & others v. Felix W. Robertson,” regarding the murder of a slave. In part: “After stating the question…as to the action of the conduct of the negro which would have justified personal chastisement by Col. Kerby as his overseer…Nothing is left to be ascertained by the jury as to the object of the pursuit ’with force & arms’…It may have been perfectly proper & what a good neighbor & good citizen should have done—not permit the negro to abandon his wagon & team & run away…’Under the circumstances of this case, the pursuit of the Slave John with arms & dogs was a wrongful act, and a trespass in contemplation of law; and the owner of the slave is entitled to recover from the defendant such losses as are the unnatural results of the wrongful act of the defendants.” In very good overall condition. Robertson was the only native-born Texan to serve as a general in the Confederate States Army during the Civil War. At the time of his death, he was the last surviving general of the Confederacy. He was noted for the controversial behavior of his troops at the Battle of Saltville, where scores of wounded black Union cavalrymen were killed in their beds. The Robert Davis Collection.
