[ Autographs ] JOHN A. DIX (1798 - 1879) Union major general most remembered for his threat to shoot anyone hauling down the American flag, and his suppression of the bloody New York draft riots. A.L.S. 1p. 8vo., New York, July 5, 1871 to E. D. Washburne, a letter of introduction for Frank R. Arnold asking Washburne's assistance for the man. Very good.
