(1833 - 1863) Confederate brigadier general who fought at First Bull Run and later served in Wheeler's 19th Alabama. Tracy served in Eastern Tennessee prior to participating in the Vicksburg campaign, where he was mortally wounded at Port Gibson. Excessively rare war-date A.D.S. "E. D. Tracy" as Assistant Adjutant General under Joe Wheeler, 1p. legal folio, "Hd Qrs Cavalry Brigade", Holly Springs, Miss., July 23, 1862, headed "General Order No. 2". Acting under Wheeler's authority, Tracy orders: "…Commanders of Regiments will furnish morning Reports at this Office every Wednesday and Saturday morning, including a report of the number, kind & condition of Arms, and amount & condition of ammunition per man…state whether or not the horses of the Regiments have been thoroughly groomed for at least one hour both morning & evening…regularly fed & watered…prevent the unnecessary riding of horses by the men…when a halt is ordered to rest, the men must be immediately required to dismount…" The reasons for Tracy's orders are obvious: horses were literally more important to the command than the men who rode them, and their good care was essential to ensure readiness for combat. One tiny hole at left margin affects one letter of text, light soiling, overall very good.
