THANK YOU SO MUCH @covers
We have absolutely the kindest and most thoughtful members here at CivilWarTalk! A couple of weeks ago, new member @covers posted an 1863 letter. I assisted him with an ID of the man it was addressed to. We chatted a bit via PM and I mentioned my work on Wofford's brigade commanded by William Tatum Wofford. I mentioned that Howell Cobb was the original Colonel of the 16th Georgia and that Wofford's brigade was later in Joseph B Kershaw's division. Today, FedEx delivered a flat package to my house. Inside were five original engravings! I've done some research and believe that all five were executed by Charles B. Hall of New York, in preparation for his limited edition book General's of the Confederate States Army 1861-1865. Presented to the General Society of Mechanics and Tradesmen of the City of New York by Charles B. Hall published in 1898.
Inside the envelope were original engravings of the following Confederate Generals:
