^Lot 405 Jubal A. Early

Confederate general (1816–1894) who led troops at Antietam, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, and Spotsylvania. Though pardoned by President Johnson in 1868, Early remained unrepentant and was one of the leading supporters of the ‘Lost Cause’ movement, reserving special vitriol for the actions of Confederate General James Longstreet at Gettysburg. Ink signature, “J. A. Early, Lynchburg, Virginia,” on an off-white 3.5 x 2 card, with collector’s notations to top and bottom of card. Double suede matted and framed with a small portrait to an overall size of 8.5 x 11.5. In fine condition, with some scattered light toning and soiling.
