Confederate general (1825–1864) killed in a surprise Union attack at Greeneville, Tennessee. Rare Civil War–dated DS, signed “Approved, Jno. H. Morgan, Brigd Com,” one page, 6.75 x 9.75, November 12, 1862. Morgan signs his approval on a special requisition document for eleven horses and two mules for Captain White’s Battery in Knoxville. In very good condition, with significant overall foxing and staining, and a small tear to bottom edge. One month later, Morgan would lead a successful raid into Tennessee, capturing a federal garrison and taking nearly 2,000 Union soldiers as prisoners. This action led directly to his promotion to brigadier general. An extremely rare document from one of the Confederacy’s legendary fallen generals. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
