George Pickett ALS

George Pickett autograph letter signed, dated “Monday – 8th”, not noted but August 1864, to his wife, Sallie. Less than two weeks before this letter was written, Pickett’s division, part of the 1st Corps of the Army of Northern Virginia during the Petersburg Campaign, defeated Union troops at the Battle of the Crater under General Lee; a success that could, however, only in small measure diminish the sting of Pickett’s Charge at Gettysburg. Written in pencil, letter reads in part: “…Your two lines by Jackerie [a slave] did me a great deal of good my own darling wife…I saw Capt Edmonds this morning who says there will be no trouble about getting the rooms and twill afford him much pleasure, likewise his wife to have you at her table. If Mass Robt. [‘Master’ Robert E. Lee] will only leave us but I have my doubts-Things look something like an advance in another direction. Darling one I do pray you are not suffering from this intense heat we must all ‘suffer some,’ but thank God you have not the flies conjointly-You can form no idea of the numbers, and their tenacity in this region, man & beast are nearly crazy…very anxious to see you and the baby [born in July of 1864]…Bye Bye my own Sallie love…Your own George”. Pickett and Lee had a contentious relationship; Pickett believed Lee had “butchered” his division at Gettysburg and Lee, for his part, thought Pickett to be a less than capable officer, even remarking later in the war, “Is that man still with the army?” 2pp. letter measures 8″ x 10″ on a single sheet of ruled stationery. Tape repair to separation at fold intersections. Some chipping along edges and faded pencil in places. Very good condition. Sold for $3,411.

George Pickett in Texas, Just After the Mexican-American War: “…a murder of seven American citizens has recently been committed by a party of Indians…pursue the murderers with energy and use every endeavor to overtake them. If you should fall upon them, and are satisfied that they are the guilty persons, you will put them to death on the spot…”

Collection of 12 letters and documents related to Confederate General George E. Pickett during his service on the Texas frontier with the U.S. 8th Infantry, including a handwritten receipt signed by Pickett. Just after the Mexican-American War, then Lieut. Pickett returned to Texas with the 8th Infantry to maintain law and order, including often violent clashes with Indians. In a letter to Pickett dated 19 June 1849 from 8th Headquarters in San Antonio, Gen. George Deas directs Pickett to capture Indians who had killed Americans: “Sir, You will proceed with a detachment of thirty mounted men, detailed from the 8th Infantry, leave to a point on the Leona Road (supposed to be the Rancho Creek) where a murder of seven American citizens has recently been committed by a party of Indians and on your arrival there, make examinations to ascertain what direction was taken by them. Having satisfied yourself as to this, you will proceed to the post on the Leona, and there taking with you company ‘C’ 2nd Dragoons under Lieut. Starr, continue your course in a direction which will cross the trail of the Indians, which you will then follow up, pursue the murderers with energy and use every endeavor to overtake them. If you should fall upon them, and are satisfied that they are they guilty persons, you will put them to death on the spot. In the course of your march should you meet with other parties of Indians, having with them captives or stolen property, you will take them prisoners, and bring in to this place, all other Indians you will compel to return to the country beyond the line of military posts, and inform them that on no account will they be permitted to pass that line, under pain of being treated as enemies. You will also take possession of any papers or recommendations which you may find in the hands of the Indians…” Several other documents in the lot relate to this expedition: in one dated 29 July 1849, a Daniel Huston certifies that the “seven public horses which Lieut. G.E. Pickett 8th Infy is responsible were necessarily abandoned…This whilst on a scout after Indians”. Another document, dated 9 November 1850 relates to an expedition by Pickett “in pursuit of a party of Indians reported to have stolen thirty horses from the vicinity of Georgetown of the night of the 30th October”. The handwritten receipt by Pickett reads in full, “Received Fort Bliss Texas, September 19th 1855 of Capt. Geo. E. Pickett U.S.A. Forty five dollars in full of his indebtedness to me.” Then signed by its recipient, Timothy Devine. Other documents (all related to Pickett) include quartermaster reports, receipts and orders of the 8th Infantry, most from the Headquarters in San Antonio. All are in very good condition with light wear and folds. Sold for $3,000.

George Pickett Military Document Signed in 1847 — Signed While Pickett Served as Regimental Quartermaster in the Mexican-American War

Military document signed by Confederate General George E. Pickett during the Mexican-American war, where he eventually served as second lieutenant. The document, received in the City of Mexico on 11 December 1847, acknowledges the receipt of a variety of articles for battle including cotton shirts, flannel shirts, boots, blankets, fifes and drum heads, cords and snares. Pickett of course went on to become a Confederate General in the Civil War, responsible for leading “Pickett’s Charge” at Gettysburg. He first gained military notoriety during the Battle of Chapultepec in September of 1847, where a wounded Pickett bravely carried the American flag to the top of a parapet, announcing Mexican surrender. Pickett boldly signs the document “Geo. E. Pickett” in dark ink to lower right, and lists his rank and regiment underneath. One page document measures 8.5″ x 6.25″. Tearing to upper left and slight water-staining to right edge, not affecting signature. Very good. Sold for $1,226.
