- Lot Description
CDV of Heman H. Perry with penciled identification on mount, uncredited.
Judge Heman Humphreys Perry (1835-1908) served in the Army of Northern Virginia as an orderly sergeant, a lieutenant, and a captain. Leaving home with Company D of the 2nd Georgia Infantry under Colonel Paul J. Semmes, Perry was later assigned to Wright's Brigade as adjutant general under General G. M. Sorrel, Mahone's Division, Longstreet's Corps. Perhaps most notably, Perry was the officer who received General Grant's opening correspondence to General Lee on April 7, 1865, which was followed by the Battle of Appomattox Court House and the subsequent surrender of General Lee just two days later on April 9. Perry received the correspondence from Grant's staff member, General Seth Williams. Perry led a very public life after the war, serving Georgia as a member of the Georgia Constitutional Convention in 1877, as a state senator from 1878-1879, as Judge of the Burke County Court until 1902, and as the editor of the newspaper, The True Citizen for fifteen years.
CDV with light spotting, discoloration, and wear at edges and corners. Some water staining on verso in upper left corner.Condition
