Description
President Abraham Lincoln signed original prisoner release order, wherein the 16th President writes and signs all in his own hand: "This man is pardoned and hereby ordered to be discharged from the service. A. Lincoln April 7, 1864.” The pardon was part of and a continuation of his proclamation of amnesty and reconstruction that allowed persons "in rebellion”, primarily Confederate officers, with certain exceptions, to swear to support and defend the Constitution and thus be granted full pardon. Lee would surrender April 9, 1865, and Lincoln, knowing the Civil war was soon to be over, began releasing confederate soldiers. It was an impressive act of unification for the country. This was handwritten and signed by America's 16th President. The note is 4-3/4″ wide x 4″ tall. Presented in an Exhibition Quality Frame where the attention to detail makes this item worthy to present in the most noteworthy home or studio environments, a real showstopper. This item has been Forensically authenticated by Guaranteed Forensic Authenticators and comes with their Letter of Authenticity. Guaranteed Forensic Authenticators Guarantees their Opinion. A complete report of the forensic evaluation is available to any owner of the item current and future.
