ZOOK, SAMUEL K.
(1823 - 1863) Union brigadier general who commanded a regiment on the Peninsula, mortally wounded leading his men at Gettysburg. Rare D.S. ""S. K. Zook Col. 57th NY Cmdg. Brigade"", 2pp. folio, a ""Muster Roll of Captain Thomas henry, Company F...from the day of Enlistment, 1862...to the Thirty first day of December, 1862"", listing about 100 members of the regiment by name with each entry signed by the soldier, also signed by Captain Henry, 1st Lt. John D. Stokes, Paymaster Sam J. Bell, Jr., and Col. Richard P. Roberts. The 140th Pa. was a Gettysburg unit which lost over half its number at the Wheatfield on July 2nd, also serving with great distinction at Chancellorsville and in the Wilderness. Undoubtedly, many of the men who signed this document, in addition to Zook, never left Gettysburg alive. Professionally mended at toned folds, one of which passes through signature, else entirely legible with no paper loss and very good.
