777. ROGER A. PRYOR (1828-1919) Confederate brigadier general who declined firing the first shot on Fort Sumter, later captured at Petersburg. A.L.S. 1p. 4to., Richmond, Oct. 25, 1854. Pryor discusses a "shameful misprint" of a letter written by a man seeking election as Governor, yet Pryor, a supporter, relays to him the positive comments he has heard and also offer to have the letter printed as a pamphlet. A few light water spots, expertly inlaid and overall very good. $100-150
