WRIGHT, MARCUS J.
(1831 - 1922) Confederate brigadier general wounded at Shiloh, returning to fight at Chickamauga and Atlanta. He later compiled the Official Records of the Civil War. Good content war-date partly-printed D.S. "Marcus J. Wright" adding rank, on CSA official form, 1p. small 4to., [Atlanta], May 9, 1864, concerning a requisition of mess equipment, in part: "...For negro laborers employed in the Commissary Dep't…[and] said negroes are employed at the Gov't. Stock yard and slaughter house without other means to cook rations…". Very good.
