| Nice Signature of Augustus Hill Garland - Confederate Congressman, Arkansas Govenor & Senator, & US Attorney General |
|
| Here is a Nice Ink Signature of Augustus Hill Garland of
Arkansas ! Paper is 4 inches wide by 2.5 inches tall, and signed
in brown ink. A practicing Arkansas Attorney before the Civil
War, Garland was an Arkansas Representative in the New
Confederate Congress during the war. Returning to his law
practice after the war, Garland stayed behind the scenes in
politics until being elected the 11th Govenor of Arkansas in
1874. In 1876, he was elected to the U.S. Senate, serving until
1885, when he resigned to accept the position of United States
Attorney General, retiring from politics in 1888, to resume his
private practice. Garland died of a stroke in 1899, while arguing
a case before the Supreme Court. This piece possibly signed
during his tenure in the US Senate, as he signed it,
"A. H. Garland, Ark." and underneath that the motto of the
State of Arkansas, Regnant Populi , or The People Rule.
A nice clipped signature of one of Arkansas' prominent sons !

| US General Franz Sigel Cdv - Fought at Wilson's Creek & Pea Ridge, Arkansas |
|
| Here's a Real Nice Cdv Engraving of US General Franz Sigel !
A career military man in his home country of Germany, Sigel came
to the United States in 1852, and by 1860, worked for the St. Louis
School system. At the beginning of the war, he was Colonel of the
3rd Missouri Infantry, and fought at Carthage, Missouri, and Dug
Springs, Missouri. Promoted to Brigadier General just before the
Battle of Wilson's Creek, Missouri, his command was routed
there. He turned in a much improved performance a few months
later at the Battle of Pea Ridge, Arkansas, on March 7th & 8th,
1862. Promoted to Major General he served in the Shenandoah
Valley, & 2nd Bull Run, before being temporarily relieved.
Though considered inept by some, Sigel was always liked by
Lincoln, who thought that he motivated German immigant
recruiting. He returned to command briefly, fighting at the
Battle of New Market, and Harper's Ferry, before being
permanently relieved of command in late 1864.
Mount is in very good shape, with lower right corner
very slightly folded, but the rest sharp. Sigels image is crisp and
