THOMAS M. MCDOUGALL
(1845 - 1909) American army officer, commanded the 10th Louisiana Volunteer negro regiment, and at the Little Big Horn, he was in command of Company B, the pack train escort and was engaged with Reno's battalion in the hilltop fight. Manuscript D.S., 2pp. legal folio, [Washington], Mar. 1, 1880, a "true copy" of a War Dept. document concerning the strength of a guard under the command of one Lt. Walter F. Halleck (likely a relative of Gen. Henry Halleck) when the former was injured in a fall from his horse. McDougall attests to the accuracy of the copy of the original document in an autograph note signed at conclusion. Very good.
