Description: This son of the first white child born in Chicago (daughter of pioneering fur trader John Kinzie) served with the 1st Michigan Infantry in the Civil War, later serving as a battalion commander at the frontier in 1869 in General Nelson Miles' "Yellowstone Campaign." Partly-Printed DS, 1p, 11" X 8¼", Standing Rock, Dakota Territory, 18 August 1876. Very good.
