Zachary Taylor 1850 Military Appointment Signed
Zachary Taylor (November 24, 1784 – July 9, 1850) was an American military leader who served as the 12th president of the United States from 1849 until his death in 1850. Taylor previously was a career officer in the United States Army, rose to the rank of major general and became a national hero as a result of his victories in the Mexican–American War. As a result, he won election to the White House despite his vague political beliefs. His top priority as president was preserving the Union. He died sixteen months into his term, having made no progress on the most divisive issue in Congress, slavery.
Zachary Taylor military appointment signed “Z. Taylor” as President, dated 20 March 1850 from the “City of Washington”, and countersigned by Secretary of War George Crawford. Here, Taylor appoints William A. Hammond as assistant surgeon. He was later appointed the 11th Surgeon General of the US Army with a rank of brigadier general during the Civil War by Lincoln. Document is flanked with two patriotic insignias and includes original blindstamped seal to upper left. Document measures 13.75″ x 17.25″ with folds and toning throughout, else very good. Also includes Hammond’s original 1872 partly-printed certificate for the Society of Arts and Sciences, measures 17″ x 22″ with chips to edges and one circular chip to center. Lastly includes plaque notating the document, a portrait photo of Hammond and Taylor, all of which can be nicely framed together. Overall, near fine. Sold for $4,382.
