Gershom Mott
Here we offer a fine signature adding rank, penned on a 4” x 2.5” card. Damp stain at right margin on verso with a bit of show-through, else very good.
Gershom Mott (1822 – 1884) was Union major general who was gravely wounded at Second Manassas and Gettysburg; and a third time at Amelia Springs! He also participated in the disastrous Crater assault and one of the few Union officers commended for his actions.
