"A Short History of General John H. Morgan" is a trade card from the *Histories of Generals* series issued by W. Duke, Sons & Co. in 1888 to promote their Honest Long Cut Smoking and Chewing Tobacco. The card features a portrait of General John Hunt Morgan, a Confederate cavalry commander during the American Civil War, as well as an illustration of a soldier in a field with a rifle. The trade card is a prime example of the use of popular figures and imagery to market consumer goods in the late 19th century. This card, like other trade cards from the series, is a valuable source of information on Civil War-era military leaders and provides insights into the evolution of advertising and marketing practices during the Gilded Age.
