Description
Handwritten Union General Orders From South Carolina Barrier Islands. This series of nine letters from the barrier islands including Edisto Island of South Carolina during the Civil War give insight into the everyday administrative happenings of the Union troops in mid-1862. Three of the letters are written and signed by C. W. Foster, then a major in the Union army and an assistant adjutant general. Foster was later in charge of the Bureau of Volunteer Troops that concerned the enlistment of black Union soldiers during the war. The letters are all 7.75" x 9.5" and in very fine condition.Auction Info
