Lt. General Wade Hampton
One of only three Generals to achieve the rank of Lieutenant General without formal military training, i.e., West Point. The other two were Lt. Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest and Lt. Gen. Richard Taylor, two excellent General.
He was a big man who inherited a big task. After JEB
Stuart
was killed in battle in 1864, command of General
Lee's
cavalry corps was given to General Wade Hampton. Born into a distinguished South Carolina family and descended from Revolutionary War patriots, Hampton organized a cavalry force, Hampton's Legion, and outfitted them at his own expense. He rose to brigadier quickly, was wounded at First
Manassas
,
Seven
Pines
and Gettysburg
, and was promoted to major general in August of 1863. A year later, after the death of
General
JEB Stuart
, Hampton was given command of the Army of Northern Virginia's cavalry corps. Almost immediately, he engaged the enemy. In early June of 1864, General
Philip Sheridan
led 6,000 Federal cavalrymen on an expedition to destroy a vital section of the Virginia Central Railroad. Just after daybreak on the morning of June 11th, Hampton and 5,000 Confederate cavalrymen intercepted Sheridan's force at Trevilian Station in Virginia. A fierce battle erupted in dense woods, forcing the cavalrymen to fight on foot. In the heat of the fight, however, Hampton seized the opportunity to charge
against the Federals in a dusty clearing near the railroad. "Charge them, my brave boys, charge them," he ordered, and courageously led the attack atop his favorite mount, a big bay named "Butler." Around him, the troops in gray and butternut surged toward the enemy through a haze of smoke and dust. Bolstering Hampton's veterans was a force of newly arrived South Carolinians that included the Cadet Rangers - Company F of the 6th South Carolina Cavalry - which had been organized at the Citadel. Typically, Hampton led with his saber - then, in hand-to-hand combat, switched to his revolver. Saddles were emptied on both sides, and Hampton single-handedly took down three adversaries. The battle shifted to other fields and continued the next day. It was finally decided when a bold Confederate counterattack shattered the Federal line. On June 13th, Sheridan and his troops retreated without destroying the railroad. Hampton had driven back the enemy - and had demonstrated his ability to assume General JEB Stuart's
mantle of leadership.

Errata
SOME people
seem a little confused as to my descriptions: (I want nobody to be disappointed in there purchase, I take great pride in what I do).
Let me make myself perfectly clear. What you see, is what you get, the image on eBay is the PRODUCT you will receive, and in all cases better. I have described in great detail each item and exactly what it is. If you have any requests or questions please do not hesitate to ask before you order, I will be happy to answer them.
Know what you are buying.
It is what it is, a
Museum Quality print
made and restored from a digital file using the old glass negative and in rare instances a print, it is
NOT
an original print made in  the 1860's or 1870's and restored, (seems I had one buyer expecting an original restored print made in 1870 with actual signatures for .95, America is a wonderful place) it is a
restored
archival digital reproduction, not some cheap print. If you want cheap, shoddy prints, they are everywhere, not here.
THE FLAG ILLUSTRATED IS FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES AND IS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS LOT.
