Military officer (1809–1867) who served as an American general during the Mexican-American War and as a Confederate general during the Civil War. ALS, one page both sides, 8 x 10, January 8, 1846. As a Missouri congressman, Price writes to a Mr. Miller. In part: “The Oregon question is the all absorbing question here at this time. It has been ably debated for the last four of five days and the discussion will likely continue some days more. This house will be for the whole of Oregon…I fear the fate of the Oregon question in the senate if the Whigs are united against the notice the Calhoun faction will defeat the measure.” In good condition, with moderate creasing, wrinkling, a few edge tears, toning, soiling, and a few apparent singe marks to the edges. The “Oregon question” undoubtedly had to do with the Oregon Treaty between the US and the United Kingdom, signed on June 15, 1846, which settled boundary claims.
