Description
Union General Daniel Sickles Handwritten Approval Note and Signature - A Month Before Gettysburg. This endorsement is signed by Major General Daniel Sickles just one month before the Battle of Gettysburg where he would lose his leg in action. Dated May 30, 1863, the order is also signed by two other Gettysburg veterans, Colonel William Brewster, who would lead the Excelsior Brigade at Gettysburg, and Colonel John S. Austin, who would lead one of the regiments, the 72nd New York, at Gettysburg. The order measures 3" x 8" and is in excellent condition. With this document is a Brady carte de visite of General Sickles as a brigadier seated and holding his sword. The CDV is a strong image with some glue at the edges of the picture but does not affect the image.Auction Info
