Collection
Collection Number: A&M 3167
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. His removal from us has been a great misfortune to the army. I fear it is not yet at an end . . . If he ranks below any one it is Gen. Lee."
