Lot 358 Nelson A. Miles
American soldier (1839–1925) who earned a niche in military history as the only man to serve as an officer in the Civil War, Indian Wars, and Spanish-American War. Though the nearly eighty-year-old Miles volunteered to serve during World War I, his offer was declined by Woodrow Wilson. Ink signature, “Nelson A. Miles, Lieutenant General, U. S. Army,” on an off-white 3.75 x 2 card. In fine condition.
