Robert Anderson [1805 1871] was a United States Army officer who began his military career in 1825 and was a veteran of the Black Hawk War, the Second Seminole War, and the Mexican American War but he is historically remembered for his role during the American Civil War. General Anderson was the Union commander in the first battle of the American Civil War at Fort Sumter in 1861.

General Anderson was badly outnumbered and outgunned and was forced to surrender his command on April 14, 1861. The autograph is signed''Your obt. Servt Robert Anderson Major Gen.
