Description: INTERNATIONAL BUYERS:? The shipping rates shown are for '1st Class International Package' with tracking.? Ebay is also promoting their EIS International Shipping program on sellers pages. I do not use this program because it is more expensive, slower, not very transparent, and frustrating to the buyer, if something goes wrong. Do not select it, if ebay does show it as an option. Thank you. Portrait of: GEORGE H. THOMAS, born on July 31, 1816 in Virginia, Southampton County. As Major-General Geo. W. Cullum's “ Biographical Register of the West Point Graduates " furnishes a detailed statement of the early service of George H. Thomas, it is needless to say more than that, after graduating July 1st, 1840, he served with distinction against the Seminole Indians in Florida ; in the Mexican war ; and down to 1860 against the Western Indians. At the breaking out of the late Civil War, he was Lieutenant -Colonel of the 2d U. S. Cavalry, and Colonel 3d May , 1861. August 17th , 1861 , he was made Brigadier General of Volunteers in the Department of the Cumberland," and, November 30th, 1861 , he was placed in command of a division of the “ Army of the Ohio . ” It was while occupying this position that he won a victory, 19th -20th January, 1862 , which may be said to have been the first clear dawn of hope at the West. There had been , it is true, a few faint indications of the coming light, but this was the real upburst of the sun from behind the mountains of gloom, diffusing the brilliancy of a day which was to know a still more glorious sunset in the crowning triumph of Thomas at Nashville.
