Eye-catching DS, one page, 14 x 17, August 28, 1865. Document bears several vignettes including Abraham Lincoln surrounded by clouds, rays of light, US flags, and six tattered banners, crowned by an eagle with a scroll in its beak. Unissued Soldiers Monument Association membership, signed at the conclusion by Grant as the association’s president, and countersigned by J. C. Smith. Some light feathering to signature, a central horizontal fold, light lines of toning from previous display, and some light creasing and wrinkling, otherwise fine condition. The association is named in honor of Joseph Hamilton Daviess, a Kentucky lawyer, who had volunteered to serve in the Indiana militia in 1811. He was put in command of two companies of dragoons, and all the cavalry in Governor William Henry Harrison’s army, and was mortally wounded on November 6, 1811, in the Battle of Tippecanoe.
