U.S. ARMY UNION MAJOR GENERAL CIVIL WAR OFFICER ROBERT PATTERSON SIGNED CAMPAIGN

Description: Hello, and thanks for taking a look at my auction. A Narrative of the Campaign in the Valley of Shenandoah in 1861 authored and signed by Union Major General Robert Patterson. 1st edition Signed and inscribed by Major General Robert Patterson. From Wikipedia: Patterson was appointed major general of Pennsylvania volunteers and commanded the Department of Pennsylvania and the Army of the Shenandoah. In 1861, Winfield Scott, now General-in-Chief of the U.S. Army, gave Patterson vague orders to retake Harpers Ferry. Patterson failed to immediately act on these orders, was outmaneuvered after the Battle of Hoke's Run, and a Confederate army at Winchester, Virginia, under Brig. Gen. Joseph E. Johnston, was able to march without interference to reinforce the Confederates under P.G.T. Beauregard at the First Battle of Bull Run. Johnston declared that Patterson's army had largely deterred him from pursuing the shattered and disorganized Union troops as they retreated back to Washington, D.C. following the battle. Patterson, widely criticized for his failure to contain the enemy forces, was mustered out of the Army in late July 1861. Please take a look at my other book auctions, including other signed books.
