Union Pay voucher for Captain Thomas Hendrickson of the 6th Infantry and his black private servant James in great condition! There is slight discoloration and staining on the document due to age. Penciled note on back as well. On June 27, 1862, Captain Thomas Hendrickson participated in the battle at Gaines' Mill. Confederate General Robert E. Lee led an attack on General Fitz John Porter's isolated V Corps in the afternoon. This battle was the second in a series of engagements called the Seven Days Battles, which forced General George McClellan's Union army to retreat from the outskirts of Richmond. Below is an excerpt of the 6th Infantry's experience, under Hendrickson's command, during this battle. "As the regiment's position was in advance of the first line and in the woods, the status of affairs was not at once apparent, but a few moments under heavy canister fire sufficed to clear up matters, and, crossing a small bridge, the Sixth in disarray passed to the rear between two of the enemy's skirmish lines, and reformed on the ridge occupied by Generals French and Meagher. Later in the evening the regiment moved into the valley of the Chickahominy, and early on the morning of the 28th crossed that stream. The bridge was destroyed after the passage of the Sixth Infantry, the last troops to leave the field. In this action Captain R. W. Foote was killed, and Lieutenants H. A. F. Worth and D. D. Lynn were wounded. Captain Thomas Hendrickson, commanding the regiment, had his horse killed under him. Of the enlisted men five were killed and sixty-one wounded." https://history.army.mil/books/r&h/R&H-6IN.htm
Incredibly hard to find these photos of a college and NFL legend. I have been waiting for a good Jon Arnett photo for a long while to go with my signed index card, and now I have two. Arrived quickly, well packaged, and exactly as described. Seller was easy to communicate with and I think the value of the item is exceptional. My thanks!
