"A Short History of General Braxton Bragg" is a colorful lithograph from the "Histories of Generals" series, issued by W. Duke, Sons & Co. in 1888 to promote their "Honest Long Cut" tobacco products. The card features a portrait of General Bragg in his Confederate uniform, surrounded by images of soldiers in battle and tobacco plants, all rendered in a charmingly naive style.
