Confederate General A.P. Hill twice-signed check, addressed to himself, ''A.P. Hill'' and also signed by him, again as ''A.P. Hill''. Holograph check is filled out by Hill for $30, dated 11 March 1861. Towards the end of the war, Hill said that he had no desire to live to see the collapse of the Confederacy and, indeed, was killed on 2 April 1865, just seven days before Lee's surrender. Hill died on the front line at Petersburg after refusing to surrender to a Union solder. Check measures 6.75'' x 2.25''. Closed tear through the payee signature, perhaps as a bank cancellation, otherwise near fine condition.
