(1817 - 1873) Union major general who commanded the Department of New Mexico stopping Sibley's assault on California. He later commanded the assault on Mobile and after the war was killed by Modoc Indians. Partly-printed D.S. 2pp. oblong 4to., [n.p., c. Jan. 1868], an "Abstract of Payments made by J. W. Nicholls, Paymaster...". Signed and endorsed by Canby at bottom: "Examined & approved Edw. Canby M Genl". Payments appear to be for a court martial as the entries include judge advocates, "Clerk Mil. Com.", "CIVIL WAR Witness", and the like. A few marginal tears, expected folds, else very good.
