American military officer and Confederate General P. G. T. BEAUREGARD dramatic reproduction souvenir CDV portrait with authentic cut signature and handwritten inscription mounted below, "I am, yours very truly, G.T. Beauregard", with dramatic flourish. Beauregard is known as the general who started the American Civil War at the battle of Fort Sumter on April 12, 1861.
Beauregard rarely used his first name (Pierre) as an adult; As such, he typically signed his correspondence as "G.T. Beauregard".
Following a brief appointment as superintendent of the U.S. Military Academy in 1861, Beauregard resigned from the United States Army and became the first brigadier general in the Confederate States Army. He commanded the defenses of Charleston, South Carolina, at the start of the Civil War at Fort Sumter on April 12, 1861. Three months later he helped win the First Battle of Manassas near Bull Run Creek. He is perhaps best known for his defense of the industrial city of Petersburg, Virginia, from Union troops in June 1864, which delayed the eventual fall of the Confederate capital of Richmond, Virginia in April 1865.
