One of the most immodest, immoral and unlikable Union generals. He fought with and constantly found fault with his superiors, was roundly criticized for the bar and brothel element of his headquarters, and fought erratically—often getting his courage from a bottle. Popular legend has it that his name was permanently attached to prostitutes who were known during the war as ”Hooker’s girls.” Fountain pen signature, “Joseph Hooker,” on an off-white closely trimmed 3.25 x .75 lined slip. In fine condition. R&R COA.
