Añadir al carritoFirst edition. Octavo. Disbound. 128 pp. Very clean and bright."In 1854, Wool was transferred to the Department of Pacific, headquartered in San Francisco, California with orders from President Pierce to halt filibustering expeditions against Mexico. In the course of duty, Wool placed under arrest the French Consul, Dillon, who…was tried for complicity in such activities by a San Francisco jury. This action provoked anger from the French government, which subsequently led the Pierce administration to abandon support of Wool?s course in literally carrying out the President?s orders. Shortly thereafter, his headquarters were transferred to a bleak part of Benicia, where he would have to contend with the problem of land disputes between white settlers and native people in the Oregon and Washington territories. Having limited manpower and supplies for such a large expanse of territory, Wool?s solution was to exclude settlements west of the Cascade Mountains. This action resulted in a bitter dispute with the Oregon and Washington territorial governors, George L. Carry and Isaac Stevens, respectively, who already felt Wool was not responding quickly enough to protect white settlers. Ultimately, Wool was again relieved of command for political reasons." (New York State Library).

Añadir al carritoframed. Condición: near fine. Inscribed Signed Note from Major General John E. Wood. Notes reads "Troy 5th February 1867 - To Mrs Mary Bartow - Your request is granted with great pleasure. John E. Wool - Major General - U.S.A.". Framed with engraved portrait. Please inquire for more information. John Ellis Wool was a US officer…in the United States Army during three consecutive American-involved wars: the War of 1812, the Mexican-American War, and with allegiance to the Union, in the American Civil War. He also participated in the American Indian Wars and the Trail of Tears, that resulted in Indian tribes being forcefully marched westward in the 1830s from the Southeast US beyond the Mississippi River into the newly established Indian Territory (The modern state of Oklahoma). By the 1840s, he was widely considered one of the most capable officers in the United States Army and an Excellent organizer. He was one of the five highest general officers (along with Winfield Scott, David E. Twiggs, William S. Harney, and Joseph E. Johnston) of the United States Army on the eve of the American Civil War in 1861, and was the one who had the most seniority of service. When the Civil War began on April 12, 1861, General Wool, then aged 77 and ranked as a brigadier general for the past 20 peace-time years, commanded the Department of the East. He was the oldest general on either side of the ensuing Civil War.
