Historical Context:
Jubal Anderson Early (1816–1894) was a senior Confederate general who served under Robert E. Lee during the American Civil War. A West Point graduate, Early fought in many of the war’s pivotal battles, including Antietam, Gettysburg, and the Overland Campaign. He was best known for his bold 1864 raid on Washington, D.C., coming closer than any Confederate force to threatening the Union capital.

After the war, Early became one of the leading architects of the “Lost Cause” narrative, fiercely defending the Confederacy’s motives and military legacy. Writing extensively and remaining an unrepentant Confederate, he helped shape postwar Southern memory and historical interpretation for generations.

This autograph, signed from Lynchburg, Virginia, reflects Early’s postwar residence and his ongoing influence as a writer and commentator on the Southern cause.
