Notorious and immensely unpopular Union general (1814–1879), Hooker was criticized for his erratic leadership, heavy drinking, poor sense of diplomacy, and the freewheeling atmosphere of his headquarters. War-dated endorsement, “Joseph Hooker, Maj Gen,” at the bottom of a pass issued to Colonel Marston, one page 5 x 8, dated March 17, 1862. Pass reads, in part: “Col. Marston…has leave of absence for 48 hours to visit Washington on private business.” Also endorsed by General Henry Naglee. Intersecting folds, one through a single letter of signature, and scattered light toning, otherwise fine condition. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
