Civil War Braxton Bragg Signed Telegraph to Gen Beauregard Corinth MS 1862 Confederate Generals pre Shiloh
Original Civil War Confederate telegraph message signed by General Braxton Bragg and addressed to General P. G. T. Beauregard from Corinth, Mississippi.
The message references Confederate generals Humphrey Marshall, Theophilus H. Holmes, and John B. Villepigue and concerns the assignment of command personnel during the critical 1862 Confederate operations in the Western Theater.
Text reads in part:
"Genl Marshall is here ordered to report to you ... as I have given up Holmes & Villepigue. Can you assign him to me ..."
Signed boldly "Braxton Bragg."
Original South-Western Telegraph Company form. A significant Confederate command communication mentioning five Confederate generals, making it an exceptional Civil War autograph and manuscript item.
Condition: Original folds, age toning, scattered staining, otherwise well preserved with strong signature and legible text.
Of particular importance is that Villepigue is an uncommon name in Confederate correspondence, making the content more specific and historically researchable than most Bragg telegrams that appear on the market.
