Wonderful US Naval Document tying together two of the Navy's most
important Hero's of the latter half of the 19th Century. DS signed by
the famed Commander of the USS Monitor in its battle with the CS
Virginia addressed to future Admiral and hero of the Spanish American
War George Dewey. "Naval Academy Annopolis Md Dec 6, 1869 Sir In
addition to your present duty as an Assistant to the Commander of
Midshipmen, in charge of Vessels ___, you are hereby assigned to
duty as an Assistant to the Superintendent. Yours Respectfully John S
Worden Commander and Supt NA. Addressed to George Dewey US
Navy USS Constitution". Dewey must have been second in command
of the Frigate USS Constitution at the time of this increase in his duties.
Rare to see such Naval history with two such important personages
together on one document. This is the original letter to Dewey and
comes from his estate. Some age toning to the letter where it might
have been wet at one point in the past.

Scarce War Date written in the field Order by Major General Rufus
Ingalls, "HQ Ar AP June 14/64, To the Master of the Spaulding, you
will please send the accompaning telegram for Jamestown Island, if
you bring any ferry boats in the James River tend them to come to
Wilson's landing as rapidly as possible. If you meet any pontoon in the
river between here and _____ hurry them forward" signed Rufus Ingalls
Brig Gen'l Chief QM AOP". This document would have been written
during Grant's assault on Petersburg that failed to take the City before
Lee knew he had gone below the James. Baldy's Smith's reluctance to
press the advantages gained cost the War almost another year. Rare
and important for an order issued in the field. Pencil attached to a
mount.

Great U S Grant autographed Document. (Firstly my apologies for
the poor quality of this scan, but my scanner can't get past framed
glass to get a good view of the item beneath, the document is
spectacular and looks nothing like this fuzzy scan) Important Civil War
Military Telegram from Brigadier General Newton Martin Curtis in
Richmond Va after its fall, to General Bowers in Washington "Maj Gen'l
Terry telegraphed five days since4 for an order assigning me to duty
according to my Brevet rank, he is very anxious about the matter as the
Command to which he wish's to assign me is now commanded by a
Colonel & Brevet Brig Gen'l whose assignment is of date prior to my
appointment as Brig Gen'l. Will you please inform me by Teleghr
whether such an order is or will be issued. N M Curtis Bvt Major Gen'l".
Header reads Office US Military Telegraph War Dept, and the telegram
was sent from Richmond VA on July 11th 1865 after the fall of the City
to the Union. It is endorsed on the verso by Ulysses S Grant as Lt
Gen'l and by Edward Stanton with their respective autographs.
Curtis led a Brigade in the assault on Fort Fisher NC under General
Terry and was severely wounded losing an eye. He did recieve his new
position which was approved by Grant and Stanton. Great document
with two incredibly important autographs about an interesting General
looking for a new position. The item is framed and the back of the
frame has a cutout where the Grant and Stanton Autographs can be
clearly seen. Rare combination.
