(1819-1902) Confederate
lieutenant general of cavalry whose daring exploits at Antietam,
Gettysburg, and Petersburg won him fame in both North and South.
Fine war-date manuscript D.S. 1p. oblong 4to.,
Sept. 12, 1861, a requisition order on usual blue letterhead, for
provisions for Capt. William K. Bachman's Co. B. Artillery
Battalion, Hampston's Legion, for 101 soldiers for 21 days from Aug.
23, 1861 to Sept. 12, 1861, In part: "...I certify that I have
carefully compared the above extract with the original return now in
my possession...", and find that the rations, which include beef,
bacon, hard head, soap, etc. are correct. Hampton signs at
bottom: "Wade Hampton Col. Co". Co. B. was mustered into the
Confederate service on August 22, 1861, the day before this large
requisition of rations was issued. At the time, they were
camped at Hampstead Hall near Charleston, and a little over two
weeks later arrived at Manassas. Bachman's regiment saw action
at the Seven Days Battles, Second Bull Run, South Mountain,
Antietam, Fredericksburg, Gettysburg, and other major campaigns.
A few small tears at top edge costs a bit text,
otherwise very good condition.
