Beschreibung

JOSEPH WHEELER (1836-1906). Wheeler was a cavalry general for the Confederate States of America, including serving as the senior cavalry general in the Army of Tennessee for much of the war. After his capture and parole, he served sixteen years as a congressman representing Alabama and as an Army general during both the Spanish-American and PhilippineAmerican Wars near the turn of the Twentieth Century. ANS. 1 pg. 3 x 4. March 12, 1865. No place. An autographed note signed J. Wheeler: Resply returned there is no such officer in this command I am informed that Capt Welch belongs to Genl. Lees corps of infantry. This note, By order of Lt Gen Hampton, HB McClellan Adj concerns the search for a Confederate soldier. At this time, less than one month from the end of the Civil War, Confederate General Joseph Wheeler was in North Carolina, serving under General Wade Hampton, and futilely trying to stop William Tecumseh Shermans northward march. This theater of conflict would culminate in the Battle of Bentonville on March 19 to 21. The soldier General Wheeler is referring to is most likely Captain William Pickney Welch of the 26th North Carolina, given the fighting in North Carolina and the 26ths service under General Custis Lee, a cavalry general like Wheeler and Hampton. Lee and the 26th oscillated between service in the Carolinas and Petersburg, Virginia during 1864 and 1865, confusion that likely led to this note. The number of prominent Confederate generals mentioned in this note makes it a valuable artifact of the war. The paper is small and the ink is dark. Bestandsnummer des Verk�ufers 5950
