CSA #11 (AD) (4-Margin) tied by the Army of Northern Virginia Field
Target Cancel Dietz Type ANV 2T. Military Address to Col B. F.
Little, Littles Mills NC. The addressee was Capt Benjamin Franklin Little
(d1879) of the 52nd NC Inf. Capt Little was promoted Lt Col of the
regiment at Gettysberg. The 52nd NC Inf was involved in Pickett's Charge
on the third day of Gettysburg and suffered 30% casualties including Lt Col
Little who was wounded and captured. He was a POW until later
exchanged and then resigned from the army in AUG 1864 because of his
wounds. Since the cover is addresed to Col Little, it must date to late 1864
after Col Little’s exchange while he was at home recovering from his
Gettysburg wounds. Very Fine.
