- Lot Description
Extremely Scarce Civil War Document Completed and Penned Entirely in the Hand of Future U. S. President William McKinley in the Capacity of Brigade Quartermaster Under Colonel Rutherford B. Hayes
Dated July 31st, 1863, and titled “ List of Quartermaster’s Stores, &c. ” this partially printed, otherwise routine one-page document transferring stores and articles from one U.S. Army Quartermaster to another takes on special significance in that not only is it signed by McKinley, it is filled out by him completely, thus elevating the piece considerably in the realm of exceedingly rare William McKinley wartime autograph material of any kind. In overall excellent condition and measuring approximately 8 by 10 inches, document is handsomely displayed in a 12 by 15-inch frame.
Mustered at age 18 as a Private in Company E of the 23rd Ohio Volunteer Infantry in June of 1861, enterprising young William McKinley, Jr., soon rose through the ranks with appointments and promotions to Commissary Sergeant, 2nd & 1st Lieutenant, Captain, and finally Brevet Major. Celebrated for his legendary and fearless humanitarian service at Antietam, praised for his part in the capture of Morgan's Raiders at Buffington Island, and promoted for gallantry under fire at the Battle of Kernstown, this vital and enthusiastic Ohio officer survived the Civil War only to succumb to the bullet of an assassin as the 25th President of the United States.Creasing as expected, with slight wear to right edge.Condition
