An early war-date Confederate document being "A Requisition for Rations for the Brass Band of the 4th Regiment Geo. Volunteers for Eleven (11) men…", 1p octavo, June 23, 1861, signed and made official by "W[illiam] .W. Ford Presd. Brass Band". Ford, a resident of Sumter County, Georgia, enlisted in May 1861 in the 4th Georgia Volunteers and served until he was discharged for disability in 1862. Later he served in the 2nd Georgia Battalion Reserve Infantry becoming a guard at the now infamous Confederate prison, camp located in his home county, Andersonville! War-date documents signed by known Andersonville prison guards are a true rarity in today's marketplace. VG
