SIGNED PRESIDENT ABRAHAM LINCOLN MILITARY COMMISSION FOR THE ASSISTANT COMMISSARY GENERAL
02-23058-3
This commission has a sight size of approximately 19 1/2″ x 15” and is dated “26th December 1861”. It is boldly signed by the Secretary of War “Edwin M. Stanton” and by our martyred President “Abraham Lincoln”. The commission is for noted career Army Officer, Amos B. Eaton, a graduate of West Point in 1826. Eaton, in his capacity as Assistant Commissary General, was tasked with creating a supply system, nearly from scratch, for the newly created Union Army. He was commended many times for his exemplary service, culminating with his appointment as Brevet Major General by President Andrew Johnson. The commission is attractively framed with an engraving of President Abraham Lincoln and a small engraved plaque. The overall size of the frame is approximately 33 1/2″ x 38 1/2″.
