Confederate general in the American Civil War. He is best-remembered for precipitating the Battle of Gettysburg, accomplished inadvertently while sending some of his troops of the Army of Northern Virginia to the small Pennsylvania village, according to his memoirs, seeking shoes. Heth had a confrontation with Chief Little Wolf that contributed to the U.S.-Cheyenne war that the government waged for the next two decades. Crisp and bold ink signature, “H. Heth, Maj. Genl. C.S.A.,” on an off-white 3.75 x 2 card. In very fine condition. R&R COA.
