John Sedgwick
Document Signed
Mostly printed "Statement of Forage issued to and consumed by
the Public Animals under my direction in the field during the month
of December 1862." Lt. John S. Schultze, Aid de Camp and Acting
Chief Quartermaster, 2nd Division, 2nd Army Corps, wrote, "In
consequence of the scarcity of Hay, I was compelled to increase the
ration of Grain to 14 lbs per Day per Horse & 12 lbs per
Mule." This document was filled out for the month that included
the disastrous Union defeat at the Battle of Fredericksburg. Sedgwick
signed John Sedgwick, Maj. Genl. as the commanding officer of
the II Corps, which he led from December 26, 1862 to January 26,
1863, thus dating this document to within a short span of time. He
had just returned to duty after being wounded at the Battle of Antietam.
Conservation framed with original, period engraving.
