- Lot Description
Partially printed DS, 7.5 x 3.5 in., Vicksburg, MS. July 26, 1863. Completed in ink with the name of the captured Confederate soldier, "T. Tunnell," a "Private of Co. B," of the "43 Miss Vols," who was taken prisoner upon the surrender of Vicksburg by CSA Lieutenant General John C. Pemberton on July 4, 1863. This event, in conjunction with the defeat of General Lee at Gettysburg the day previous, is viewed as a major turning point in the Civil War. Document contains a printed oath signed by Tunnell at bottom: "That I will not take up arms again against the United States, nor serve in any military, police, or constabulary force in any Fort, Garrison or field work, held by the Confederate States of America, against the United States of America, nor as guard of prisons, depots or stores, nor discharge any duties usually performed by Officers or soldiers against the United States of America, until duly exchanged by the proper authorities." Document also features indecipherable ink signature on verso. Private Thomas L. Tunnell was mustered into Company B of the Mississippi 43rd Volunteer Infantry on May 1, 1862.
Document with some repair at creases, discoloration and spotting from age and wear, and brittleness at edges. Dark ink inscriptions.Condition
