Overview

A two page ALS from A(llen) T. Caperton, a Confederate Senator and resident of Union, Monroe County to Major General John Breckinridge praising the latter's military capabilities. Caperton quotes another officer who remains anonymous that "on every field Gen. Breckinridge was splendid. I have never been associated with a greater man.
