Sanders and Brenham Check Signed by John G. Wool - 1854 dated Autograph

Check for Sanders & Brenham signed by John G. Wool.

Across the northeastern portion of the map appears "Ordnance Reserve" and under that inscription is written and signed: "Approved and will be reserved for an Ordnance Depot. John G. Wool, Major General." General Wool, one of the heroes of the Mexican War, was at that time in charge of all troops on the Pacific Coast with headquarters in San Francisco. Later he and Governor Isaac I. Stevens had unpleasant altercations over the Indian Wars.
