Union general (1819–1893) who commanded a division at Gettysburg and has controversially been credited with the invention of baseball. Civil War-dated ALS signed “A. Doubleday, Brig. Genl. Vol., Comg. 3d Div. 1st Corps,” one page, 5 x 8, Head Quarters 3d Division 1 Army Corps (Army of the Potomac) letterhead, February 25, 1863. A handwritten letter of recommendation addressed from “Camp near Belle Plain” in Virginia, in full: “Lieut. Jones Acting A. D. C. at these Head Qs is a young man of good education and decided ability. He is an applicant for the position of Asst. Adg. Genl. in the Army & I have no doubt would do full justice to the appointment as he is fully capable. He seems to have no bad habits and has given great satisfaction here.” In fine condition. The referenced lieutenant is ostensibly Murdith L. Jones, a Union officer and an additional aide-de-camp to General Abner Doubleday.
