At Nate D. Sanders Auctions we have sold many Civil War army general autographs. Here are a couple of examples:
General William Sherman autograph letter signed: ”W.T. Sherman / M.G.” on Military Division of the Mississippi Headquarters stationery. In a letter datelined ”In the Field, 4 miles S of Hickory Hill, 1 February 1865”, the infamous Civil War figure writes to General John Gray Foster: ”…I cannot modify my orders relative to General Saxton having the charge of recruiting blacks…I think the impression at Washington is that both you and I are inimical to the policy of arming negroes, and all know that Saxton is not, and his appointment reconciles that difficulty. If anything serious occurs correspond directly with Mr. Stanton…Let Grant know I am in motion, and telegraph to Easton that if Slocum has to wait for provisions it will be dead loss [sic], as we are eating up ours. Let Hatch continually feel the Salkehatchie, and the moment the enemy lets go, get the railroad broken back to the Edisto…” By this time in the war, approximately 10% of Union regiments were composed of black soldiers, and public opinion, including that held by officers and soldiers, had accepted the concept of arming former slaves in the war effort. This letter clearly shows that General Sherman was one of the remaining hold-outs in his opposition. Written in pencil, single page measures 7.75″ x 9.75″. Near fine. Sold for $9,582.

General William Sherman Autograph Letter Signed During the Civil War — 1864
William Sherman autograph letter signed to Major General O.O. Howard, Commander of the Army of the Tennessee. Composed on “Headquarters, Military Division of the Mississippi” stationery and datelined 5 December 1864, “In the field, Ogeechee Church,” 2.5pp. letter boldly signed “W. T. Sherman/ Maj Genl.” Written less than three weeks before Sherman sent his famous telegram presenting President Lincoln with his Christmas present of “the city of Savannah.” While on his way there, Sherman writes this letter to coordinate his total war against the South. In part, “…Since sending the messenger to you this a.m. Gen’l Blair has entered this place almost unopposed. Some Field works are fresh. And so far as I have examined would be such as would be thrown up by 5,000 inexperienced hands…he [Slocum] has not heard from Davis and Kilpatrick since he heard their firing yesterday morn’g. Davis has orders to move from the point where he separated from Slocum, namely Buckhead Church, to Halley’s Ferry abreast of this on the Savannah via Sylvania. I have sent a courier to Slocum to communicate with Davis at once and report to me at what moment he will be ready to move on. You will observe that with Davis at Halley’s we threaten South Carolina. And to that extend will confuse our enemy…Only we must move in concert, or else will get lost…Blair can burn the bridges and culverts and also enough cotton gins and barns to mark the progress of his head of column. I don’t want him to start till I know Davis is abreast.” Letter measures 7.75″ x 9.75″. Some overall light toning. Typed transcription hinged to blank verso of page 3. Fine condition. Sold for $7,339.
