Daniel Brodhead autograph clipped from a larger document signed "Daniel Brodhead S.G." A desirable example from the prominent Continental Army officer who commanded important operations on the American frontier during the Revolutionary War.

The autograph measures approximately 2.25 x .75". Fine condition with expected age toning and irregular edges from removal from the original document. The autograph clip is affixed to a slightly larger backing sheet.

Daniel Brodhead IV (1736-1809) was an American military officer and Brigadier General in the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War. Commissioned a colonel of the 8th Pennsylvania Regiment, Brodhead participated in the defense of Philadelphia and served under George Washington before being assigned to the western frontier. In 1779, he succeeded Lachlan McIntosh as commander of the Continental Army's Western Department, headquartered at Fort Pitt. Brodhead led a major expedition into the upper Allegheny Valley against British-allied Native American communities and worked to defend the Pennsylvania and Virginia frontiers from attack. He was promoted to Brigadier General in 1779 and remained an important Continental commander in the West during the later years of the Revolution. After the war, Brodhead continued in public service and later served as Surveyor General of Pennsylvania.
