WILLIAM E DOSTER (1837-1919) Union Brevet Brigadier General, 4th Pennsylvania Cavalry. ALS, "W E Doster", 2pp, Aug 28, 1884, 4to, his law firm letterhead, Bethlehem, PA, to Capt Livenweaver, nice content re documenting the history of the battle of Gettysburg. In part, "...Many thanks for your reminiscences. So far as they go, they confirm my own recollection, and will be of great aid to me in making report to Colonel [John B] Bachelder of our movements at Gettysburg...a report including our movements from the time we left Fairfax would be very interesting, but I do not understand that that would be within the scope of Col B's request. The same movements from a Confederate standpoint have been written out by Major McClellan, Adjt Gen to Gen J.E.B. Stuart, who by the way was at the last Reunion...denying that our regiment captured a cannon...It is a pity some one does not write the history of our Cavalry..." VG. $200-300
