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.

Letter by the Union's Youngest General during the War, Galusha
Pennypacker of Pennsylvania. "Philadelphia March 1st, 1889, My Dear
General, I have recieved yours of the 27th ult. informing me that you
had forwarded to my address a copy of General Boynton's pamphlet.
The letter has just been received I beg to thank you ______ Very truly
Yours, G Pennypacker. A very hard General to find in image or
autograph. "At the age of 16, he enlisted as a quartermaster sergeant in the 9th
Pennsylvania Infantry Regiment from West Chester, Pennsylvania.[2][4] In October 1861 he was
appointed a major in the 97th Pennsylvania, for which he had helped recruit a company of
men. He and his regiment saw action in Georgia at Fort Pulaski and in the battles around
Charleston. In 1864, his regiment was transferred to Virginia, where he was engaged in the
Bermuda Hundred Campaign under Maj. Gen. Benjamin Butler, in which he was wounded at
the Battle of Ware Bottom Church. After the Battle of Cold Harbor and during the siege of
Petersburg, he was appointed colonel of his regiment, August 15, 1864. He assumed command
of the 2nd Brigade, 2nd Division, X Corps of the Army of the James. He led his brigade into
action at the Battle of New Market Heights and was wounded near Fort Gilmer. His brigade was
attached to the Fort Fisher Expedition under Alfred Terry.
The Galusha Pennypacker Statue located off the north east side of Logan Square,
Philadelphia, PA. Created by Charles Grafly, Albert Laessle, in 1934.Pennypacker's greatest
moment of the war came at the Second Battle of Fort Fisher, January 15, 1865, where he was
again severely wounded. His wound was considered fatal and General Terry promised the
young officer that he would receive a brevet promotion for his conduct that day. Terry called
Pennypacker "the real hero of Fort Fisher" and remarked that without his bravery the fort would
not have been taken. He was much later awarded the Medal of Honor, with a citation reading,
"Gallantly led the charge over a traverse and planted the colors of one of his regiments
thereon, was severely wounded." He received a brevet promotion to brigadier general[4] dated
January 15, 1865. He survived his wounds after 10 months in the hospital and on February 18,
1865, he received a full promotion to brigadier general of volunteers at age 20, making him the
youngest officer to hold the rank of general to this day in the United States Army. He was
appointed a brevet major general of volunteers on March 13, 1865. Pennypacker stayed in the
Army after the Civil War, serving on the frontier as Colonel of the 34th U.S. Infantry, transferring
in 1869 to the 16th U.S. Infantry, which he commanded until his retirement in July 1883. He
received a brevet promotion to major general in the regular army on March 2, 1867. He died
in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on October 1, 1916, and is buried in Philadelphia National
Cemetery. His grave can be found in the officers section." Letter comes with a period
book engraving.
