This 🔥🔥PLATE MATCHED🔥🔥 Historic Relic Handled and signed by the President Abraham Lincoln himself on August 19, 1861.This specific template—featuring the prominent bald eagle at the top, a striking green tint, a large orange-red paper seal on the left, and a decorative military trophy cluster at the bottom—was used exclusively to appoint officers to the regular United States Army (as opposed to temporary volunteers).
On August 19, 1861, President Lincoln signed a highly uniform batch of these regular army commissions to fill leadership vacuums in newly created units. Given the visible layout of the ink fragments, your document matches the historic commissions issued to regular infantry captains or lieutenants appointed that day. The primary candidates include:
1. Captain David Ireland (15th U.S. Infantry Regiment): Ireland was commissioned as a Captain in the Regular Army on this exact day. He went on to become a highly celebrated Union hero, famously leading the 137th New York Volunteers to defend Culp’s Hill during the critical Battle of Gettysburg.
2. First Lieutenant George Hussey Tracy (15th U.S. Infantry Regiment): Tracy similarly received his official Regular Army commission on August 19, 1861, signed by Lincoln and Cameron. He served through major actions in the Western Theater of the war before tragically succumbing to yellow fever.
