DRAKE DE KAY
Item Details
Description
(1836-1896) Union officer, brevetted lieutenant-colonel for gallantry. De Kay served on the staffs of Generals Mansfield, Pope, and Hooker but is likely most remembered for his enormous, bold signature. History notes that it was penned in that manner so that sentinels would be able to recognize passes signed by him at a distance! War-date partly-printed D.S. 1p. 4to., Washington, Jan. 24, 1863, issuing a furlough to two soldiers. Boldly signed with his characteristically large signature with ink erosion on several letters. Weakened folds, else very good.
