Title: Joseph Wheeler - PSA/DNA Certified Hand-Signed Check - August 26, 1901. Description: Original hand-signed bank check filled out and signed by Joseph Wheeler, dated August 26, 1901, just months before his death. It is completed in Wheeler's hand and signed clearly at the bottom right as.

The item has been professionally authenticated and encapsulated by PSA/DNA in a secure, tamper-evident slab.

Congressman from Alabama and a major general in the U. Army during the Spanish-American War.

One of the few former Confederate officers to later serve in the U. Military, Wheeler became a symbol of post-Civil War national reconciliation. During the Civil War, Wheeler earned the nickname "Fighting Joe" and served with distinction as a cavalry commander in the Army of Tennessee. After the war, he was elected to Congress, advocating for Southern interests during Reconstruction. In 1898, during the Spanish-American War, Wheeler famously commanded U. Troops in Cuba, further cementing his national legacy. By the time this check was signed in 1901, Wheeler was nearing the end of his remarkable life of military and public service. The date places this autograph within the final year of his congressional tenure and just five years before his death. Authentication & Encapsulation: Authenticated and encapsulated by PSA/DNA, the industry's gold standard for autograph verification.

Housed in a tamper-proof, archival-grade PSA slab with a certification label clearly identifying the signer and artifact type. Combining historical military significance with personal financial documentation, it's an ideal piece for collectors of Civil War, Spanish-American War, or Reconstruction-era memorabilia.
