Two Postwar Items Pertaining to Confederate Generals Lee and Jackson Respectively
Lot Details & Additional Photographs
To include: 1880s facsimile of Robert E. Lee's Farewell Address, the original delivered at Appomattox, Virginia on April 10, 1865 (16-1/2 x 0-3/4 in.) (deeply toned with fold creases from framing); a high quality Stonewall Jackson vignette with a likely hand-written biography below the portrait and carrying over to the back where, after all the careful penmanship, the narrative ends with the year of Jackson's death being erroneously noted as "1862" rather than correctly as "1863" (13 x 9-1/2 in.) (fine condition).
