Longstreet, James (1821 - 1904) Confederate major general who commanded Lee's right wing at Antietam, and the left flank at Chickamauga. Longstreet has been accused of delaying his attack at Gettysburg, leading to the Confederate defeat there. Very rare S.P., a cabinet card showing Longstreet in a jacket and waistcoat with gold watch on lapel, taken by W. W. Washburn, New Orleans. Signed on verso: "Very truly yours James Longstreet". Most certainly given to Col. William Owen commander of the famed New Orleans Washington Artillery as this image came from his personal archive. In very good to fine condition.
