The following item is an authentic signed document from The State of North Carolina. This is an election notice for the position of Justice of The Peace. The position was filled by an Alpheus Norwell for 6 years. Norwell was elected in 1877 and resigned in 1879. His resignation letter is attached to his election certificate. What makes this document significant is that it was signed by The North Carolina Secretary of State Joseph Adolphus Englehard. During The Civil War Englehard was a Major in the Confederate Army. He was also The Assistant Adjutant General for Pender’s Division and was present during The Battle of Gettysburg. The following is an excerpt of his description of Pickett’s Charge. Englehard, adjutant gen- eral of Gen. Pender’s division, says: The point at which the troops with me struck the enemy’s works project- ed farthest to the front. I recollect well, my horse having been shot, I leaned my elbow upon one of the guns of the enemy to rest, and watched with painful anxiety the fight on Pickett’s right, for on their success meant the tenableness of our position. Surround- ing me were soldiers of Trimble’s, of Pettigrew’s and of Pickett’s division, and it required all the resources at my command to prevent their follow- ing en masse the retreating enemy, and some did go so far that when we were compelled to withdraw they were unable to reach our lines, the enemy closing in from the right and left. We remained in quiet and undisputed pos- session of the enemy’s work, the men, flushed with victory, eager to press forward. Englehard survived Pickett’s Charge and The Civil War and went on to become North Carolina Secretary of State. This document is in very good condition and is signed by Englehard is dark period ink on the lower right. A great signature from a key member of The Confederate States Army during The Civil War. Note:The last picture is a photo of Englehard during the war.

We stand behind our COA. Specializes in rare and collectible movie scripts. Our scripts are genuine, authentic and screen used. We also carry movie props from no genre in particular. Furthermore, all of our items that are not props or scripts can be found in our Other Memorabilia category. We do not sell reproductions or fakes. We have one of the largest collections of original movie screenplays in the world. We also carry scripts used in Television, Broadway, Radio and other forms of entertainment. Every script that we own was hand-picked one at a time over the many years of which we have been collecting. A lot of people, new to collecting, are confused about the word Original. ” In terms of movie scripts, the term “Original means that it was used by the production company in the early stages of production or that it was issued out to the cast and crew members during filming, and used at the time of production. Any scripts printed or used in any fashion after filming has completed are known as either a reproduction or a post-production script. These two types of scripts are much less valuable and desirable. All of our scripts are Original.. An original movie script has a lot of character in the item itself and every one of them is different in some way or another. There is usually only one script given to each crew member during production, however, sometimes they do get more than one. This makes original movie scripts very desirable because of how scarce they are. Any changes made to the screenplay during production are known as revisions and these revision pages are inserted into that one script that was issued out to them. For example, if we are talking about a low-budget film with a small cast and only a few crew members, there are actually only a small number of scripts in existence around the world for that film. This aspect of collecting makes it fun but also difficult because there may be a certain writer or director that you love to collect and there may only be a handful of movie scripts that still exist from that specific film that you are looking for. We have some of the rarest movie scripts in the world. Each film project has a different total number of scripts that are issued. The older a film is you also have to figure in the fact that a lot of the original movie scripts have been thrown out or destroyed over time. We do our best to provide the widest selection of original movie scripts in the world. Whatever actor, producer, director, writer or specific film department you are looking for, we probably have a movie script related to the person you are looking for in some form or fashion. I know that there are a lot of items to search through, but there is definitely something for you. Once you check off this little box it will allow you to search for a specific word that is contained in any of our listings’ actual description. Here all of the original movie scripts will be categorized by decade, which will help you to narrow down what you are looking for by the year it was made.

It is on a document from WWII, dated February 1, 1945, on letterhead of Headquarters 15th Army Group. He was a very important figure in the history of WWII and an outstanding military hero. Letter is to BASIL O’CONNOR, a close friend of F. D. R. And founder of polio foundations. Clark advises that military and civilian members of his command:… Were made acquainted with the importance of the work being done by the Foundation… Everyone was offered the opportunity to contribute… Let me send you best wishes for this most important project. May this year’s’March of Dimes’ have proven the most successful ever… The letter is boldly signed by Lieutenant General Mark W. Clark and it remains in very good condition. Mark Wayne Clark (May 1, 1896 – April 17, 1984) was a United States Army officer who saw service during World War I, World War II, and the Korean War. He was the youngest general (four-star general) in the United States Army during World War II. During World War I, he was a company commander and served in France in 1918, as a 22-year old captain, where he was seriously wounded by shrapnel. After the war, the future U. Army Chief of Staff, General George Marshall, noticed Clark’s abilities. During World War II, he commanded the United States Fifth Army, and later the 15th Army Group, in the Italian campaign. He is known for leading the Fifth Army in its capture of Rome in June 1944. Clark has been heavily criticized for ignoring the orders of his superior officer, British General Sir Harold R. Alexander, and allowing the German 10th Army to slip away, in his drive to take Rome, the capital of Italy, a strategically unimportant city. The German 10th Army then joined with the rest of the German army group at the Trasimene Line. In March 1945, Clark, at the age of 48, became the youngest American officer ever to be promoted to the rank of four star general. General of the Army Dwight D. Eisenhower, a close friend of Clark’s, considered him a brilliant staff officer and trainer of men. Clark was awarded many medals, including the Distinguished Service Cross, the U. Army’s highest award. Here is a great opportunity to add a special item to your collection! (Inventory: Autograph Closet – Envelope 2). Track Page Views With. Auctiva’s FREE Counter.
