Confederate brigadier general who served at Vicksburg, Chickamauga, and Atlanta, and was one of the six Confederate generals killed at the Battle of Franklin (1831–1864). Civil War–dated partly-printed DS, signed “H. B. Granbury, Brig. Genl,” one page, 10.75 x 6.75, June 24, 1864. A “requisition for forage for private Horses, Mules and Oxen, in the service of Genl Granbury for seven days…at Camp Marietta, Ga.,” in which Granbury requests 14 rations of corn and fodder for two horses. In very good condition, with intersecting folds (one vertical fold passing through a single letter of the signature) and moderate scattered toning. Granbury autographic material is nearly impossible to find in any format and, as it originates from Camp Marietta, this document is directly associated with his service during the Atlanta Campaign and thus of the utmost desirability. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
