A scarce and desirable autograph from one of the Confederacy's most famous generals and the commander associated with Fort Sumter and First Bull Run.
Collector Assessment
Among Confederate general autographs, Beauregard is considerably scarcer than many lower-ranking officers and has stronger historical name recognition because of his direct connection to both Fort Sumter and First Bull Run. For Civil War autograph collectors, a complete signed check such as this is generally more desirable than a detached signature alone.
