Confederate lieutenant general, one of only three civilians without formal military training to attain that rank. Reputed to be the largest landowner in the South in 1861, he raised and equipped in part Hampton’s South Carolina Legion. Wounded at Fair Oaks and three times at Gettysburg, he commanded a cavalry brigade under J.E.B. Stuart, becoming the commander on Stuart’s death at Yellow Tavern. Bold, clear signature on 3½"x2" card. Fine example with brief printed biography.</span></p>
