General James Longstreet
Known as “Old Pete” to his contemporaries, Longstreet commanded 1st Corps under Lee, who regarded him as “his old war horse.” He commanded Marye’s Heights at the Battle of Fredericksburg and served with distinction in the Peninsular Campaign, Second Manassas and Antietam among numerous other battles. Many historians believe he deserves much of the credit for the Confederate victory at Chickamauga. There was no general more skilled in battlefield tactics, Union or Confederate, than Longstreet.
This beautiful piece is framed in a cherry stained solid wood shadowbox, 12 by 10 inches and 2 and 1/8 inches deep, with a glass face - all made in the USA. It includes the relics as described above. The depth of the box adds a beautiful effect to the piece. Annotations are on the back of the frame and each has been individually signed by AMHSoc, denoting its origin as the limited edition piece that it is. Images are available in gray tones and Sepia.
