TOOMBS, ROBERT
(1810 - 1885) Confederate Secretary of State and Brigadier General whose brigade held the stone bridge at Antietam. Exceptionally rare S.P., a carte-de-visite photo showing him in a chest, up pose. Boldly signed ""R. Toombs"" beneath his image, with an additional A.N.S. on verso, reading, in full: ""Washington D.C. 7th Sept. 1867 Dear Sir, Judge Iverson's address in Macon, Georgia. R.T."". Very slight wear to edges, otherwise very good.
