Here we have an exceptional CDV of what I believe is a Confederate Soldier in either a civilian Frock coat or a captured Union great coat. You can clearly see his gray shell Jacket that he is wearing and gray Kepi on his knee. He has a very troubled look on his face so he's already "seen the elephant" or he is a prisoner of war. There is no backmark on this early CDV. No History accompanies this piece but it was found in Indiana. From Camp Morton? Who knows. For this fine image $450.00

Here we have CDV's of General Grant (Later President Grant) and his Vice President Schuyler Colfax Jr. We'll start with Vice President Colfax.

Here we have a CDV of Schuyler Colfax.

Schuyler Colfax Jr. ( March 23, 1823 – January 13, 1885) was an American journalist, businessman, and politician from Indiana. He served as a United States Representative (1855–69), Speaker of the House of Representatives (1863–69), and the 17th Vice President of the United States (1869–73). To date, he is one of only two Americans (John Nance Garner is the other) to have served as both House speaker and vice president. Colfax was known for his opposition to slavery while serving in Congress, and was a founder of the Republican Party. In January 1865, as Speaker of the House, Colfax made the unusual choice to cast a vote for passage of the Thirteenth Amendment. (Speakers can vote on House motions but, by convention, rarely do so.) After winning the presidential election of 1868, Ulysses S. Grant and Colfax, at ages 46 and 45, were the youngest Presidential ticket elected in the 19th Century. Believing Grant would only serve one term, in 1870 Colfax attempted unsuccessfully to garner support for the 1872 presidential nomination by telling friends and supporters he would not seek a second vice presidential term. Grant ran again, and Colfax reversed himself and attempted to win the vice presidential nomination, but was defeated by Henry Wilson. In January 1871, Colfax encouraged a unified Italy to adopt a republican government that protected religious freedom and civil rights of its citizens. An 1873 Congressional investigation into the Crédit Mobilier scandal named Colfax as one of the members of Congress (mostly Republicans) who in 1868 were offered (and possibly took) payments of cash and discounted stock from the Union Pacific Railroad in exchange for favorable action during the construction of the First Transcontinental Railroad. Colfax left the vice presidency at the end of his term in 1873 and never again ran for office. Afterwards he worked as a business executive and became a popular lecturer and speech maker. Colfax died in Mankato, Minnesota, on January 13, 1885, while changing trains as he was en route to Rock Rapids, Iowa, to give a speech

This CDV of Vice President Colfax is a tad light but easily seen with his iconic smile! The CDV is in great shape overall and is backmarked from Logansport, Indiana. Nice piece! $65.00

Here we have a CDV from life of General Ulysses S. Grant, later President Grant. This one is in very nice condition with the backmark of Anthony and Brady. Ulysses Simpson Grant (born Hiram Ulysses Grant;[a] April 27, 1822 – July 23, 1885) was an American soldier and statesman who served as Commanding General of the Army and President of the United States, the highest positions in the military and the government of the United States. A prominent United States Army general during the American Civil War, Grant led the Union Army to victory over the Confederacy with the supervision of Abraham Lincoln. As the 18th President of the United States (1869–77) Grant led the Republicans in their efforts to remove the vestiges of Confederate nationalism and slavery during Reconstruction. Grant was born and raised in Ohio by Methodist parents whose lineage in the new world went back several generations. As a youth he often worked in his father's tannery and showed an early talent for riding, taming and managing horses. After graduating from West Point in 1843 Grant served with distinction in the Mexican–American War. Upon his return he married Julia Dent, and together they had four children. Grant retired from the army in 1854 and struggled financially in civilian life. When the Civil War began in 1861 he rejoined the army and quickly rose through the ranks. As a general he took control of Kentucky, most of Tennessee, won major battles at Shiloh and seized Vicksburg, gaining control of the Mississippi River and dividing the Confederacy. These victories, combined with those in the Chattanooga Campaign, persuaded Abraham Lincoln that Grant was the general best suited to lead the combined Union armies. Grant was promoted to Lieutenant General, a rank previously reserved for George Washington, in March 1864. He confronted Robert E. Lee, trapping his army in their defense of Richmond, while coordinating a series of campaigns in other theaters. In April 1865 Lee surrendered to Grant at Appomattox, effectively ending the war. Historians have hailed Grant's military genius, and his strategies are featured in military history textbooks. After Lincoln's assassination, Grant became increasingly disillusioned by President Andrew Johnson's approach to Reconstruction, and drifted toward the "Radical" Republicans. Elected president in 1868, the youngest man in the office to that date, Grant stabilized the post-war national economy, created the Department of Justice, used the military to enforce laws in the former Confederacy and prosecuted the Ku Klux Klan. Grant strengthened the Republican Party in the South and signed three civil rights acts into law. In 1871 he created the first Civil Service Commission. The Democrats and Liberal Republicans united behind Grant's opponent in the presidential election of 1872, but Grant was re-elected by a large margin. Generally regarded as personally honest, he nonetheless faced accusations of corruption within his administration. Grant's Peace Policy with Native Americans was a bold departure for its time. In foreign policy, Grant sought to increase trade and influence while remaining at peace with the world. With Secretary of State Hamilton Fish, he successfully resolved the Alabama claims with Great Britain. Grant and Fish negotiated a peaceful resolution with Spain over the Virginius Affair. Congress rejected Grant's initiative to annex the Dominican Republic, creating a rift among Republicans. In national affairs, Grant's administration implemented a gold standard and sought to strengthen the dollar. Grant's immediate response to the Panic of 1873 failed to halt a severe industrial depression that produced high unemployment, deflation, and bankruptcies. When he left office in 1877, Grant embarked on a two-and-a-half-year world tour that captured favorable global attention for him and the United States. In 1880, Grant was unsuccessful in obtaining the Republican presidential nomination for a third term. Facing severe investment reversals and dying of throat cancer, he wrote his memoirs, which proved to be a major critical and financial success. His death in 1885 prompted an outpouring in support of national unity. Historical assessments of Grant's legacy have varied considerably over the years. Although Grant's presidency has popularly been criticized for its Gilded Age scandals, modern scholarship regards him as an embattled president who performed a difficult job during Reconstruction. Although early rankings of Presidents rated his administration among the worst, modern appreciation for Grant's accomplishments has greatly improved his historical reputation.

This CDV is in very nice condition with E&HT Anthony backmark from Photographic Negative in Brady's National Portrait Gallery. For this CDV $165.00

Here we have a 1/6th plate tintype of two armed Rascals from the 1870’s-1880’s! These two are sitting ther quite cavalier with their Stetsons in their hands. There seems to be ribbons or flowers on their lapels so I think they are at a convention or gathering of some kind. The younger man has a pistol stuck in the waistband of his trousers while the other older man has one stuck in his belt. It’s obvious that they wanted the camera to pick up the revolvers as their coats are pulled back to make sure that they were exposed! Tough guys!!! Comes in a half leatherette case. $125.00

Here is the first photo from the Winchester Paper Grouping that I picked up recently. I believe all photos are from the Southwest.

This one is probably a graduating class from the early 1900’s and it shows five of the students dressed in U.S. Military Uniforms of around that era I believe. There also seems to be a couple of Hispanic or Indian boys in the photo. This photo says on the back Public School Las Cruces (New Mexico). (The following photo is taken at the same building.) 4 ¾ X 6 ¾ sized image on an 8 X 10 inch mat. Nice and clear!! $45.00

This next photograph is on an 8 ¼ inch by 11 mat and the photograph itself measures 9 ¼ X 6 ½ with a little damage to the lower right but does not get into the subject material. The front of the brick building has on it PUBLIC SCHOOL 1882 while in pencil on the back this albumin is dated to 1897.. This is an elementary school photograph with a ton of kids in it. Most seem to be Hispanic with some native americans and Caucasians. There are at least two Nuns in the Photo making it a Catholic School which is typical for the South West. This photo is nice and clear and has a bunch of good looking kids. For this one $45.00

This last photo is on a 8 X 10 inch mat with the actual photo being 4 ¾ X 7 showing a large brick building that is id’d on the back as the Rouault Bldg- replaced old store. Might not be a coincidence that our subject Theo Rouault has the same last name as the building. This building houses the FIRST STATE BANK and there are Ringling Bros Circus signs on the building. It looks like work is still being done on the building and it has an unusual pulley arrangement for moving the street light overhead. $45.00

CIVIL WAR GROUPING FROM HIATT'S THAT LIVED IN WINCHESTER, INDIANA!

Here is a small grouping that I recently picked up. This grouping is from Winchester, Indiana and there was an auction that took place there a while back that had many Civil War items belonging to the Hiatt family. This grouping consists of a soldier CDV on thin card that is marked on the back Jonathan Hiatt - 1 doz.cop (b) - today more? I think this is the orignal Civil War CDV that was kept in the files at the Hiatt Photographic Studio, his family's business. The cabinet card is an 1880's copy of the original CDV probably to mark his passing as on the back of the Winchester lodge No. 121 International Order of Odd Fellows there is an IN MEMORIAM which marks the passing of the old soldier. I don't know if this CDV is of Jonathan Hiatt or for him. The other CDV is suppose to be a relative in the same outfit with a b/m of Paris, KY. This CDV is of his Captain. Here is Jonathan's service record:

Residence Wabash IN; Enlisted on 9/5/1861 as a Private. On 9/5/1861 he mustered into "F" Co. IN 8th Infantry He Re-enlisted on 1/1/1864 He was Mustered Out on 8/28/1865 at Savannah, GA Promotions: * Corpl Sources used by Historical Data Systems, Inc.:

Kenny, John R. Polk, Joseph M. Thompson; Majs., David Shunk, Charles S. Parrish, Thomas J. Brady, Alexander J. Kenny, John R. Polk, Joseph M. Thompson Jacob Widaman. This regiment was first organized for the three months' service at Indianapolis, in April, 1861 and was mustered in April 25. It left the state on June 19, and moved to Clarksburg, thence to Buckhannon, W. Va., where it was assigned to Gen. Rosecrans' brigade. It participated in the battle of Rich Mountain and then went into camp at Beverly. It was mustered out at Indianapolis, Aug. 2, 1861. Its original strength was 784, and it lost by death, 7; desertion, 15; unaccounted for, 1. The regiment was at once reorganized at Indianapolis, and was mustered in Sept. 10, for three years. It left the state the same day and joined Fremont's Army at St. Louis, Mo., from which place it moved to Jefferson City and was assigned to Col. Jefferson C. Davis' brigade. It moved to Springfield, thence to Otterville, and on Dec. 17, marched to Warrensburg and assisted in capturing 1,300 of the enemy. It was in camp at Otterville until Jan. 24, 1862, when it moved to Springfield, joining Gen. Curtis' command, and thence to Cross Timbers, Ark. It participated in the battle of Pea Ridge, was then in camp until April, and moved then to Sulphur Rock, Ark. On June 22, it moved for Helena, skirmished at the White River, was in the engagement at Cotton Plant July 7, and reached Helena July 13. It was in a skirmish at Austin in August, was sent to Sulphur Hill, near St. Louis, Oct. 6, and was engaged in various movements during the fall and winter. It was ordered to join Grant's forces at Milliken's Bend, La., Mar. 5, 1863, and was assigned to Benton's brigade, Carr's division, 13th corps. It was engaged at Port Gibson, Jackson, Champion's Hill, Black River bridge, and in the siege of Vicksburg, losing 117 in killed and wounded in the assault of June 22. On July 5, it moved to Jackson returning on the 24th and remained at Vicksburg until Aug. 20, when it moved to Carrollton to join Gen. Banks in his campaign through the Teche country. It took part in the capture of the fort on Mustang Island, Tex., then moved to Indianola, where 417 out of 515 reenlisted as veterans, and were furloughed home in April, 1864. Upon returning to New Orleans it embarked, July 27, for Morganza Bend, and was in the engagement at the Atchafalaya the next day. It was then ordered to Washington, D. C., reaching there Aug. 12, and marching to Berryville, Va., was assigned to the 19th corps with which it participated in the Shenandoah Valley campaign. It was engaged at the Opequan, Fisher's Hill, and Cedar Creek, and left Virginia, Jan. 6, 1865, by steamer for Savannah, Ga. It was on duty in Georgia until Aug. 28, 1865, when it was mustered out. Its original strength was 1,046, and it gained by recruits, 190; reenlistments, 46; unassigned recruits, 17; total, 1,299. It lost by death, 245; desertion, 75; Source: The Union Army, vol. 3

There's no mention of doing service time in KY so I'm not sure on the second CDV of the Captain. This grouping warrants further research but I just don't have time to do it. The grouping comes with a couple of other relatives as well. You might uncover something very interesting here! For the grouping $295.00 photography 014

Here we have a grouping for Capt. William J. Hahn of the 32nd Indiana Infantry. The 32nd Regiment Indiana Infantry was also known as the 1st German Regiment (an all-German regiment). Governor Oliver P. Morton commissioned August Willich of Cincinnati as Colonel of the 32nd Indiana. Thirty~second Infantry INDIANA (3 YEARS) Thirty~second Infantry.ÄCols., August Willich, Henry Van Trebra Francis Erdelmeyer; Lieut.-Cols., Henry Von Trebra, William Schnacken- burg, Francis Erdelmeyer, Jacob Glass, William G. Mank, Hans Blume Majs., William Schnackenburg, Charles Schmitt, Jacob Glass, William G. Mank, Peter Cappell, Hans Blume. This regiment was organized at Indianapolis in 1861, and was fortunate in its choice of a commanding-officer, Col. Willich having been a distinguished officer of the German army. The regiment was mustered in Aug. 24, and left the state in the latter part of September, going to Louisville, thence to New Haven and shortly afterward to Camp Nevin. It moved for Munfordville in December as part of R. W. Johnson's brigade, McCook's division, and was engaged in picket duty on the south side of the Green River. Four companies of the regiment were attacked near Rowlett's Station by Gen. Hindman with 1,100 infantry, 4 pieces of artillery, and a battalion of Texas rangers, but one company forced the attacking party back, while another sustained a similar attack. They were quickly reinforced by the other two companies, and the regiment speedily advanced driving the enemy back. The Texas rangers then charged at several points in succession, but a hollow square was formed which withstood the cavalry and the subsequent infantry charge, the enemy being compelled to leave the field with 33 killed and 50 wounded. The 32nd lost 10 killed, 22 wounded and 8 missing, and was highly complimented in special orders for its gallantry. It was stationed at Bowling Green and Nashville in Feb. 1862, participated in the battle of Shiloh, having 6 killed, 93 wounded and 4 missing, was next in the siege of Corinth, and later moved to Stevenson, Ala., and Nashville. Col. Willich was appointed a brigadier-general on July 17, and was suceeded as colonel by Lieut.-Col. Von Trebra. The regiment marched with Gen. Buell's army to Louisville, joined the pursuit of Bragg through Kentucky then moved for Murfreesboro and participated in the battle of Stone's River losing 12 killed, 40 wounded and 115 missing. It remained at Murfreesboro until June, then moved towards Chattanooga, was engaged at Liberty Gap, took part in the battle of Chickamauga, losing 21 killed, 78 wounded, and 17 missing, and also participated at Missionary Ridge in November. It marched to the relief of Gen. Burnside at Knoxville and remained in that vicinity until the spring of 1864. In the Atlanta campaign it was engaged at Resaca, Allatoona Hills, Dallas Powder Springs, Peachtree Creek, and many minor engagements. After the capture of Atlanta, the non-veterans were mustered out at Indianapolis, Sept. 7, and the recruits were organized into a battalion of four companies, in command of Lieut.-Col. Blume. The battalion accompanied the 4th corps to Tennessee and was left at Chattanooga until June, 1865, when it was sent to Texas with the 4th corps. It was mustered out Dec. 4, 1865. The original strength of the regiment was 899; gain by recruits, 484; reenlistments, 503; total, 1,886. Loss by death, 222; desertion, 171; unaccounted for, 50. The original strength of the battalion was 418, gain by recruits, 256; total, 674; loss by death, 32; desertion, 1, unaccounted for, 11. Source: The Union Army, vol. 3

This lot consists of a CDV of Capt. Hahn which has family notations on the reverse. The card is bent but not completely broken apart. The image is not compromised. The documents consist mainly of 7 post war documents in which he was trying to get pay. Documents range in date from 1865 thru 1866. One document which is quite large states that he was intitled to pay from the 1st day of July 1st, 1864 to September 7th, 1864 for him and his private negro servant, James Dogherty. Evidently he was not paid for this time. Take a look at the pics. With a little research one may turn up something else. For the lot: $325.00 photography 011

Here we have a CDV of a young soldier in short coat and slouch hat. The backmark is from Lafayette, Indiana so it is probably the 17th Indiana Mounted Infantry or more likely, the 72nd Indiana Mounted Infantry. The 17th and the 72nd fought alongside each other but the 17th was mustered in Indianapolis and the 72nd was mustered in Lafayette. These regiments were a part of Wilder's Brigade and carried Spencer Rifles. The 3 cent revenue stamp of the reverse has the date of '65 on it so this would have been when their term of enlistment was up. Here's a capsule history of the 72nd:

This young soldier has the look of having 'seen the elephant'. He is wearing the short coat of the mounted infantry with sky blue trousers and slouch hat.

Here is an early postcard from the late 1800's or early 1900's. The postcard was invented in Austria in 1869. This one has an albumin print on it of 2 young Cowboys! Both of them are holding lassos but the bigger boy is also holding a revolver and you can see the holster as well. The back of the card says to PLACE ONE CENT STAMP HERE so you know this is very old! There is one small broken corner on it. For this Cowboy postcard $20.00 photography 05

Except for the cabinet card of the 2nd Lt. I believe all the other photographs were taken when the 158th Ind was stationed at Camp Thomas in Chickamauga Park, Georgia. I did find a Fred Reuben listed as Corporal in Co. D and evidently he made it up to Lt as his name is on the back of the photo or perhaps this grouping belonged to him. The original 2nd Lt. of Co. D was a gentleman with the name of William A. Kreber. The cabinet card of the 2nd Lt was taken in Indianapolis. This unit was ready to go but the war was over before it was needed. Still a nice glimpse into Army life!!! $65.00 photography 04

Here is an outstanding curved glass Ambrotype of a remarkably beautiful young woman in her 20's. I would date this ambrotype to the 1850's and possibly to the very early 1860's. This is one of the most clear ambros that I have every seen and the detail is awesome! Since the image is on a curved piece of glass it kind of gives the image a 3D quality. The only detractor with this piece is that the case is a marriage. Other than that you can't as for a better image! No Id on this one but she was found in Lafayette, Indiana. $145.00 photography 02

Here is an exceedingly rare item! This is a Dietz Portable Dark-room red glass lens Lantern from the 1800's. A reference site dealing with Dietz Lanterns stated that these were rare of the rare and were made before 1901, however, the site didn't state when they were first introduced. The Montgomery Ward 1895 catalog has a drawing of one on page 220 with the price of 50 cents on it and I saw another 1894 publication that had a drawing of one in it. In 1857 Dietz & Company submit the first flat-wick burner for "modern" coal oil for patenting and in 1859 Dietz & Company begin manufacturing coal oil flat-wick burners. This lantern has the flat-wick burner that you can see in the pics. Photographs have to be developed in the dark and using red light is the same as being in the dark. I don't know how early this lantern is but I believe it's very early. The piece stands about 6 1/3 tall including the little chimney at the top. is 2 5/8 inches wide and 1 1/2 inches deep not including the little handle that you use to carry it around with. On the front is the stencil --- RUBY LANTERN. The little lid raises up to expose the red flat glass panel that the lit oil wick shines through. The glass is in excellent condition with no cracks. The little wick and tank are in excellent condition and you can see DIETZ embossed on the bottom. This piece is in excellent condition for it's age with just a little paint loss here and there. I found one other on the internet for an example that was not for sale and it had a cracked lens. I found no others listed after an exhausting search. If you are into early photography then this fine little lantern is for you! RARE! $250.00 item photography 1

Here's a great little item! This is a small all brass Album that contain 4 different photos. There are photos of a gentleman that I believe I have seen but I can't remember who he is as well as photos of Union General Rosecrans and Union General Tecumseh Sherman. On the reverese of the Sherman photo is a woman that I believe to be Mrs Sherman. All of the photos seem to be CDV type or Gem paper type. The album closed measures about 3/4 inch wide by 7/8 inch tall! Incredibly small! The album has a brass ring at the top which runs through a 1838 4 Pence English Coin! Again, this album is incredibly small and rare to find! $350.00 item photography 2

This next stereo-optic card tackles the Women's Suffrage Movement or rather is trying to scare men into controlling their wifes! This card is dated 1895. Here's some facts on Women's Sufferage:The term women's suffrage refers to the economic and political reform movement aimed at extending suffrage — the right to vote — to women. The movement's modern origins lie in France in the 18th century. Of currently existing independent countries, New Zealand was the first to give women the right to vote in 1893.[1] Similarly, the colony of South Australia enacted legislation giving women the vote in 1894. Places with similar status which granted women the vote include Wyoming Territory (1869). Other possible contenders for first "country" to grant female suffrage include the Corsican Republic, the Isle of Man (1881), the Pitcairn Islands, Franceville, and Tavolara, but some of these had brief existences as independent states and others were not clearly independent. Australia extended this right in 1901 to some women, and then in 1902 to all non-aboriginal women. A contestant for being the first independent nation to grant the right to vote for women would be Sweden, where some women were in fact allowed to vote during the age of liberty (1718-1771), although this right was far from applying to women in general. Voting rights for women were introduced into international law in 1948 when the UN adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. As stated in Article 21 “(1) Everyone has the right to take part in the government of his country, directly or through freely chosen representatives. (3) The will of the people shall be the basis of the authority of government; this will shall be expressed in periodic and genuine elections which shall be by universal and equal suffrage and shall be held by secret vote or by equivalent free voting procedures.” Women’s suffrage is also explicitly stated as a right under the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women, adopted by the United Nations in 1979. 2

This is an important card from an important period of Women's Sufferage. This shows a bossy lady (could be my wife!) pointing her bossy finger at her husband who is doing the laundry while 2 small children sit at his feet. I'm sure he's trying to take care of them too! My wife and I worked through this problem. She tells me what to do and I do it. Anyway, it works for her! Nice Quality! $3.00 item photography 4

Here are a couple of early 20th century Military Photos that was shot in Gettysburg, PA in 1913. Looks like the soldiers are rebuilding earthworks. I can see an encampment on a hill, a train & a stone wall. Look at the closeup. Both photo's are the same and are marked on the back by photographer W. H. TIPTON, Gettysburg, Pa. Also written on pencil on the back of both photographs is 'The X is me' 'Gettysburg, Pa July 18, 1913". Looks like the Corps of Engineers were straightening up things after the reunion held June 29 - July 5, 1913 commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg. The double camps for union and confederate veterans put up for the 50th Anniversary of Gettysburg were hugh and probably took quite some time to tear down. Here's your chanch to catch a rare glimpse of the end of an outstanding reunion where the average age of the veteran was 73 years old!

Ray was elected Governor at the August election, 1825, and served two full terms of three years each. Source; Hazzards History of Henry County, Indiana; 1906 *** Hon. James B. Ray, Governor of Indiana from 1825 to 1831, and the youngest man (age 31) that ever occupied the gubernatorial chair up to that time, lived in Centreville from 1837 to 1840 and practiced law. He was a brilliant speaker, a zealous lawyer and very popular. He died comparatively young. His brother, Martin M. Ray, resided in Centreville many years. Martin M. Ray was an early and prominent lawyer, who served several years as Circuit Prosecutor. We are indebted to Hon. Jacob B. Julian, who was his law partner for several years, for the following particulars concerning him: ¯ He was a native of Kentucky and came to Indiana at a very early day, perhaps as early as 1817, settling at Brookville. He was a cabinet-maker by trade, and was successively a mercbant and a banker. At the age of thirty he engaged in the practice of law, first at Connersville, and in 1829 at Centreville, where he continued in active practice until 1845. He then retired, from practice and removed to Indianapolis, where he died in 1869. He was an excellent lawyer, and during the years of his practice at Centreville he ranked among the best in the profession at the time.

Here's a fairly large photo of General Winfield Scott otherwise known as 'Old Fuss and Feathers' because of his disposition. He was much too old to be on active duty during the Civil War but he started out in a very important position anyway. Born near Petersburg, Va. on June 13, 1786, having already served as the country's general-in-chief for two decades, America's preeminent military figure-perhaps the most celebrated since George Washington, Scott was nearly 75 when he commanded the Union armies at the start of the Civil War. By that time, Scott, a Virginia native who refused to join the Confederacy, was clearly nearing the end of his brilliant career. Hero of the War of 1812 and Black Hawk War, commander of U.S. forces in the Mexican War, unsuccessful Whig presidential candidate in 1852, Scott, called "Old Fuss and Feathers" because of his devotion to military pomp and protocol, now suffered from gout and vertigo, weighed more than 300 pounds, and could no longer ride his horse. Because of his infirmities, he required a field commander and urged Lincoln to appoint his fellow Virginian Robert E. Lee to the position. George B. McClellan, who got the post after Lee turned down the Union commander's personal appeal, soon began to resent Scott and took to contradicting him in staff meetings and snubbing him in public. By then, however, the general-in-chief was being amply ridiculed elsewhere as well. Blamed for the Union's dismal showing in the first months of the war, Scott received sharp criticism for his "Anaconda Plan," in which he recommended a naval blockade to press the Confederacy while the Union gradually developed its armed forces for what he anticipated to be a long struggle. Although Scott was more clearheaded on the subject than the majority of military and political figures-Union and Confederate alike-who believed the war would conclude quickly, many suspected Old Fuss and Feathers was growing senile. On November 1, 1861, after another Union battlefield defeat at Ball's Bluff, Lincoln accepted Scott's standing offer to resign. Succeeded the same day by McClellan, he retired to write his two-volume memoirs, travel through Europe, and see the essential elements of his Anaconda Plan ultimately prove effective in the waging of the war. Scott lived to see the Confederates defeated, dying in West Point, N.Y., May 29, 1866. Though he was buried at West Point, he never attended there. Now back to the photo. This photo appears to be an albumin photo due to the satin finish when holding the photo sideways. The card measures about 4 inches by 6 inches while the print is 2 X 3 3/4 inches in size. The card is marked with the photographer info below the photo. The mat is original and from Richmond, Indiana. This photo, as it is, is a fake- made to deceive. You can see where the original photo was removed and this one was glued in it's place. If you look at the photo under magnification you will see matrix dots. The magazine type photos from the early 20th century on has the same type of dots. However, this photo looks great and is very useful as a teaching tool. It also looks great on the wall. If you never magnified it you would never know the difference. Knowledge is power! Check it out. Remember, it's a fake! $30.00 item photography 49

Image 72

This next photo is an excellent fake as well. It's made just like the General Winfield Scott photo and looks like an albumin photo made with egg whites but it is not. This is made from an original photo somewhere and shows 5 Plains type Native Americans holding up weapons. This photo is obviously made the same and probably from the same faker. The photo card is 7 1/2 X 4 inches with the photo being 2 3/4 X 3 3/4 inches. Excellent content but crudely put together. Again, knowledge is power! Use this as a teaching tool. Again, you couldn't tell this was not an old photo unless you magnified it for clarity. $30.00 item photography 50

History Of The U.S.S. Tennessee

Six ships of the United States Navy have been named USS Tennessee in honor of the 16th state. •(1862 The first USS Tennessee was a paddlewheel steamer captured from the Confederacy at New Orleans on April 2, 1862. •(1864) The second USS Tennessee was a Confederate ironclad captured from the Confederacy in the Battle of Mobile Bay on February 16, 1864. •(1869} The third USS Tennessee was a wooden screw frigate originally built and named as Madawaska. •(1904) The fourth USS Tennessee (ACR-10) was the lead ship of her class of armored cruiser. •(1919) The fifth USS Tennessee (BB-43) was the lead ship of her class of battleship. •(1986) The sixth USS Tennessee (SSBN-734) is an Ohio-class submarine.

The first one is a 1/9th plate that kind of looks like a young Abraham Lincoln but he's much better looking that 'Ole Abe'. He's wearing the same kind of suit and cravat. The second tintype is a striking pose of a hugh man with very masculine features. He kind of looks familiar to me but I just can't put my finger on it.

Here's a nice example of an 1850's photograph referred to as a Daguerrotype. Looking at it from certain angles makes it look like a mirror. It was a poisonious occupation that used mercury in the photographic process on a copper plate so photographers turned to ambrotypes and tintypes for safety. This photo is in the 6th plate size and is very clear with some spotting to the plate on the lower left hand side. The case is in good condition with tape on the spline. Still clear and definitely a look into the past. This young man was probably 18 or 19 in this photograph and definitely old enough to participate in the Civil War some 10 years or so later. $45.00 item photography 59

A nice CDV of Tom and Lavinia (Warren) Thumb! Nice condition CDV showig full standing views. TOM THUMB (Charles Sherwood Stratton) Charles Sherwood Stratton (Tom Thumb) was born Jan. 4, 1838, in Bridgeport, Conn., to Sherwood Edward Stratton, a carpenter, and his wife, Cynthia. The parents, "normal" sized adults reportedly were embarrassed that their son was a dwarf. In 1842, P. T. Barnum discovered Charles, who measured 25 inches and weighed 15 pounds, only six pounds more than his birth weight. Barnum touted the child as an 11-year-old European marvel and taught him to sing, dance, mime and act. During their dealings together, they traveled around the world and met various leaders and royalty, including President Abraham Lincoln and Britain's Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. Tom Thumb and Lavinia Warren were married Feb. 10, 1863, in New York City's Grace Episcopal Church. The newlyweds stood atop a grand piano to receive 2,000 guests. Tom Thumb died of a stroke on July 15, 1883. His funeral was attended by more than 10,000 people. Lavinia remarried on April 6, 1885, to an Italian dwarf, Count Primo Magri. She died Nov. 25, 1919. LAVINIA WARREN (Mrs. Tom Thumb) Mercy Lavinia Warren Bump was born Oct. 31, 1841, in Middleborough, Mass., to James S. and Huldah P. Bump. She had four brothers, George, James, Sylvanus and Benjamin, all of whom reached six feet or more by adulthood, and two sisters, Caroline Delia, a normal-sized person, and Huldah (later known as Minnie Warren), who grew to 32 inches. Before being hired by P. T. Barnum in 1862 to appear in his American Museum in New York City, Lavinia spent four years with a relative's traveling boat show steaming up and down the Mississippi River. She was employed as a teacher in a one-room country school when Barnum heard of her. Within the year, Lavinia, 21 years old and 32 inches tall, met Charles Sherwood Stratton, "General" Tom Thumb, whom she later married.

This is a 13 X 17 inch photo in frame of Lt. General Nelson A. Miles attending a banquet given by the Illinois State Court of the Guarding of Liberty and is dated June 13, 1916. The old general is standing under the large flag at the top of the photo. General Miles was a Medal of Honor Winner! Here's his bio:
One of the most colorful soldiers ever to serve in the United States Army. Although the Indian Wars were over, he would rise still higher, to the top command in the U.S. Army. It was an impressive ascent from youthful beginnings as a clerk in a Boston crockery store, but still not as high as his ambition dictated. His future career, like his past, would be marred by controversy and endless discord with associates. For in him vanity and ambition powered a fierce competitiveness that drove his to revel tastelessly in his own genuine abilities and successes while minimizing or denying those of others. "Brave peacock," Theodore Roosevelt would call him, not inaccurately. Unfortunately for his place in history, the image obscured a record of notable achievement. He came to the frontier army in 1866 without West Point credentials but with an extraordinary Civil War record. Self-education had prepared him for the war. While clerking in Boston, he had attended night school, read deeply in military history, mastered military principals nd techniques, and even paid an old French veteran to teach him to drill. He marched off in 1861 as a First Lieutenant of Massachusetts Volunteers. Courage, leadership, professional knowledge, hard work and ambition brought the young officer to notice of his superiors, and he rose swiftly. By Appomattox, he had made himself a popular hero, four times wounded, veteran of every major battle of the Army of the Potomac except Gettysburg, successful regimental, brigade, division and (briefly) corps commander. Promotion to Major General of Volunteers came in October 1865 and three brevet promotions covered him with further honors. Not only was he a genuine hero, he looked like one. Tall, muscular, broad-shouldered, well-proportioned, with intense blue eyes and a jaunty mustache, he made a dashing figure in his blue and gold uniform with starred shoulder straps and chest full of brass buttons. He was 26 years old. He had found his calling. He wanted to be a career soldier and his record in the Volunteer Service assured him a commission in the post-war regular army. He sought a brigadier's star, a presumptuous goal in the shrunken peacetime army, even for one of his conspicuous attainments. The colonel's eagles that he accepted with bad grace represented a higher rank than others with even greater distinction and seniority could win. Even this distinction cam not solely in recognition of his wartime services. He had learned one of the truths of his times: ability helped, but high-level influence was vital. He enlisted the support of an imposing roster of military and political luminaries in behalf of his candidacy, and his colonel's commission owed as much to this as to his war record. He would become one of the army's most ardent practitioners of influence peddling. Marriage appeared to enhance his possibilities, although it is unlikely that cynicism formed part of that motivation. On June 30, 1868, he married Mary Hoyt Sherman, whose uncles were Ohio Senator John Sherman and Army Major General William Tecumseh Sherman. Less than a year later, with the inauguration of Ulysses S. Grant as President of the United States, Sherman became General-in-Chief of the Army. At once, Miles began to importune his wife's uncle for official favors. Until 1883, when he stepped down as leader of the Army, Sherman stubbornly fended off these efforts. As early as 1888, California interests had advanced Miles' name for the presidency, and throughout the 1890s he doubtless had no more difficulty visualizing himself as President than he had in 1876, a frontier Colonel, as Secretary of War. In truth, neither major party ever seriously considered him a serious nominee. In 1895, he did attain the top command of the Army, successor to Washington, Scott, Grant, Sherman and Sheridan, but his term was filled with frustration. In the Spanish-American War, William McKinley denied him any real authority and relegated him to command an almost unnoticed expedition against Puerto Rico. Instead of glory, he gained uncomplimentary notice from a bitter public quarrel with the Secretary of War and a ruthless, unjust attack on the Commissary General of the Army in the scandal over "embalmed beef." Even his elevation in 1901 to the newly restored grade of Lieutenant General brought only small satisfaction. Almost at once he earned the displeasure of Theodore Roosevelt by taking sides in a feud between admirals and by criticizing U.S. policy in the Philippines. He also opposed the long-overdue reform of the War Department, which called for converting the Commanding General to a Chief of Staff. Finally, when he reached the mandatory retirement age of 64 in 1903 and stepped down as the last Commanding General in the Army's history, the President declined to send the customary congratulatory message, and the Secretary of War did not attend the retirement ceremonies. He lived out his remaining years quietly in Washington, D.C. World War I brought persistent application for active duty, but they were politely turned aside. No longer a center of controversy, he became a venerable figure out of the past, a reminder of the war to save the Union, out of the old army, and of the frontier West that he played such a glorious part in opening to settlement. The end, at the age of 85, could not have been more fitting. In the spring of 1925, he took his grandchildren to the circus. The band played the National Anthem. Standing erectly at attention, rendering the military salute to the flag, he collapsed with a heart attack. The burial at Arlington National Cemetery featured the impressive ceremonial homage he would have considered his due. He might have also felt a small sense of vindication in the gravesite attendance of President Calvin Coolidge. He is buried in Section 3 in one of only two mausoleums in Arlington National Cemetery (the other in Section 1 belongs to General Thomas Crook Sullivan). Another connection with Arlington was that Miles was the Grand Marshall at the dedication of the Memorial Amphitheater, which was held in 1920. He was born on August 8, 1839 near Westminister, Massachusetts. He was commissioned as Captain of the 22nd Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry at the outbreak of the Civil War. His baptism of fire came while serving in General Oliver O. Howard's staff at Fair Oaks (Seven Pines), May 31, 1862, after which his bravery earned him promotion to Lieutenant Colonel. He was promoted to Colonel after assuming command of his regiment in the midst of the battle of Antietam (Sharpsburg), September 17, 1862. Distinguished himself and was himself seriously wounded at Fredericksburg, December 13, 1862, again at Chancellorsville, May 2-4, 1863. For his actions at the latter he won, as of March 1867, Brevet to Brigadier General and even later, in 1892, the Medal of Honor. He was present at nearly every major engagement of the Army of the Potomac. Appointed Brigadier General of Volunteers in May 1864 and commanded a Division in the final campaign at Petersburg, Virginia. In October 1865, at the age of 26, was named Major General of Volunteers in command of II Corps. As commandant of Fort Monroe, Virginia, after the war, he became the custodian of Jefferson Davis, and for keeping him shackled in his cell, was the target of severe public criticism, even in the North. In July 1866 was appointed Colonel in the regular army and in March 1869 was commander of the 5th U.S. Infantry. His subsequent service on the Western frontier was dedicated and courageous during recurring hostilities with the Indians. Achieved victories against Cheyenne, Comanche, Kiowa and Arapaho on the Staked Plains of Texas in 1874-75, notably the victory of Colonel Ranald S. MacKenzie at Palo Duro Canyon, September 24, 1874, and later was instrumental in driving the Sioux under Sitting Bull into Canada nd pacifying those under Crazy Horse. He captured Chief Joseph in 1877 after the Nez Perces incredible march toward sanctuary in Canada, and the following year pacified the Bannocks under Chief Elk Horn near Yellowstone. Promoted to Brigadier General in December 1880, he commanded the Department of the Columbia until 1885 and the Department of the Missouri in 1885-86, and in April 1886 succeeded General George Crook as the commander of the Department of Arizona, where he succeeded in September in finally capturing the elusive Apache leader, Geronimo. He commanded the Department of the Pacific at San Francisco in 1888-90, receiving promotion to Major General in April 1890. In the last uprising of the Sioux in South Dakota in late 1890, during which Sitting Bull was killed, he restored U.S. control over the Indians, but his reputation was permanently tarnished by the massacre of some 200 Sioux, including women and children, by troops under the command of Colonel James W. Forsyth (7th U.S. Cavalry) at Wounded Knee, South Dakota, on December 29, 1890. In 1894, while commanding the Department of the Missouri, was responsible for the Federal troops employed in the suppression of the Pullman strike disorders in Chicago. Was placed in command of the Department of the East, with headquarters at Governors Island, New York in 1894, and on the retirement of John M. Schofield be became on October 5, 1895 the Army's Comander-in-Chief. His role in the Spanish-American War was mostly administrative, although the did conduct an expedition to Puerto Rico, landing on July 25, 1898, and campaigning until August 13. In February 1901 he was promoted to Lieutenant General. Late in that year he was reprimanded for having commented publicly on Admiral George Dewey's report on charges against Winfield Scott Schley. In 1902, on his return from an inspection trip in the Philippines, he aroused controversy with his criticism of the conduct of certain U.S. officers there. Author of "Personal Recollections and Observations of General Nelson A. Miles," in 1896, and "Serving the Republic," in 1911.

These cards are in excellent condition. Here's the Presidents Bio: WILLIAM MCKINLEY 1897-1901 At the 1896 Republican Convention, in time of depression, the wealthy Cleveland businessman Marcus Alonzo Hanna ensured the nomination of his friend William McKinley as "the advance agent of prosperity." The Democrats, advocating the "free and unlimited coinage of both silver and gold"--which would have mildly inflated the currency--nominated William Jennings Bryan. While Hanna used large contributions from eastern Republicans frightened by Bryan's views on silver, McKinley met delegations on his front porch in Canton, Ohio. He won by the largest majority of popular votes since 1872. Born in Niles, Ohio, in 1843, McKinley briefly attended Allegheny College, and was teaching in a country school when the Civil War broke out. Enlisting as a private in the Union Army, he was mustered out at the end of the war as a brevet major of volunteers. He studied law, opened an office in Canton, Ohio, and married Ida Saxton, daughter of a local banker. At 34, McKinley won a seat in Congress. His attractive personality, exemplary character, and quick intelligence enabled him to rise rapidly. He was appointed to the powerful Ways and Means Committee. Robert M. La Follette, Sr., who served with him, recalled that he generally "represented the newer view," and "on the great new questions .. was generally on the side of the public and against private interests." During his 14 years in the House, he became the leading Republican tariff expert, giving his name to the measure enacted in 1890. The next year he was elected Governor of Ohio, serving two terms. When McKinley became President, the depression of 1893 had almost run its course and with it the extreme agitation over silver. Deferring action on the money question, he called Congress into special session to enact the highest tariff in history. In the friendly atmosphere of the McKinley Administration, industrial combinations developed at an unprecedented pace. Newspapers caricatured McKinley as a little boy led around by "Nursie" Hanna, the representative of the trusts. However, McKinley was not dominated by Hanna; he condemned the trusts as "dangerous conspiracies against the public good." Not prosperity, but foreign policy, dominated McKinley's Administration. Reporting the stalemate between Spanish forces and revolutionaries in Cuba, newspapers screamed that a quarter of the population was dead and the rest suffering acutely. Public indignation brought pressure upon the President for war. Unable to restrain Congress or the American people, McKinley delivered his message of neutral intervention in April 1898. Congress thereupon voted three resolutions tantamount to a declaration of war for the liberation and independence of Cuba. In the 100-day war, the United States destroyed the Spanish fleet outside Santiago harbor in Cuba, seized Manila in the Philippines, and occupied Puerto Rico. "Uncle Joe" Cannon, later Speaker of the House, once said that McKinley kept his ear so close to the ground that it was full of grasshoppers. When McKinley was undecided what to do about Spanish possessions other than Cuba, he toured the country and detected an imperialist sentiment. Thus the United States annexed the Philippines, Guam, and Puerto Rico. In 1900, McKinley again campaigned against Bryan. While Bryan inveighed against imperialism, McKinley quietly stood for "the full dinner pail." His second term, which had begun auspiciously, came to a tragic end in September 1901. He was standing in a receiving line at the Buffalo Pan-American Exposition when a deranged anarchist shot him twice. He died eight days later.

Here we have a large print of an original painting done my 'MARLA' '98 and so marked. This is a very poinant setting showing a 10th Regiment Buffalo soldier saying goodbye to his wife and child. The 10th Cavalry was formed at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas in 1866. Very high standards of recruitment were set by the regimental commander and Civil War hero Benjamin Grierson. As a result, recruitment and organization of the unit required slightly over one year. By the end of July 1867 eight companies of enlisted men had been recruited from the Departments of Missouri, Arkansas, and the Platte. Life at Leavenworth was not pleasant for the 10th. The Fort's commander, who was admittedly opposed to African- Americans serving in the regular army, made life as difficult as he could on the new troopers. Grierson sought to have his regiment transferred, and subsequently received orders moving the regiment to Fort Riley, Kansas later that summer. Within two months of the transfer, the final four companies were in place. For the next eight years, the 10th was stationed at numerous forts throughout Kansas and Indian Territory (now Oklahoma). They provided guards for workers of the Kansas and Pacific Railroad, strung miles of new telegraph lines, and to a large extent built Fort Sill. Throughout this period, they were constantly patrolling the reservations in an attempt to prevent Indian raids into Texas. In 1867 and 68, the 10th participated in Gen. Sherman's winter campaigns against the Cheyennes, Arapahos, and Comanches. Units of the 10th prevented the Cheyenne from fleeing to the northwest, thus allowing Custer and the 7th Cavalry to defeat them at the decisive battle near Fort Cobb, Indian Territory. In 1875, the 10th Cavalry moved its headquarters to Fort Concho in west Texas. Other companies were assigned to various forts throughout the area. The regiment's mission in Texas was to protect mail and travel routes, control Indian movements, provide protection from Mexican revolutionaries and outlaws, and to gain a knowledge of the areas terrain. The regiment proved highly successful in completing their mission. The 10th scouted 34,420 miles of uncharted terrain, opened more than 300 miles of new roads, and laid over 200 miles of telegraph lines. The scouting activities took the troops through some of the harshest and most desolate terrain in the nation. These excursions allowed the preparation of excellent maps detailing scarce water holes, mountain passes, and grazing areas that would later allow for settlement of the area. These feats were accomplished while having to be constantly on the alert for hit-and-run raids from the Apaches. The stay in west Texas produced tough soldiers, who became accustomed to surviving in an area that offered few comforts and no luxuries. The 10th Cavalry played an important role in the 1879-80 campaign against Chief Victorio and his renegade band of Apaches. Victorio and his followers escaped from their New Mexico reservation and wreaked havoc throughout the southwest on their way to Mexico. Col. Grierson and the 10th attempted to prevent Victorio's return to the U.S., and particularly his reaching New Mexico where he could cause additional problems with the Apaches still on the reservations. Grierson, realizing the importance of water in the harsh region, decided the best way to intercept Victorio was to take control of potential water holes along his route. The campaign called for the biggest military concentration ever assembled in the Trans-Pecos area. Six troops of the 10th Cavalry were assigned to patrol the area from the Van Horn Mountains west to the Quitman Mountains, and north to the Sierra Diablo and Delaware Mountains. Encounters with the Indians usually resulted in skirmishes, however the 10th engaged in major confrontations at Tinaja de las Palmas (a water hole south of Sierra Blanca) and at Rattlesnake Springs (north of Van Horn). These two engagements halted Victorio and forced him to retreat to Mexico. Although Victorio and his band were not captured, the campaign conducted by the 10th was successful in preventing them from reaching New Mexico. The 10th's efforts at containment exhausted the Apaches. Soon after they crossed the border, Victorio and many of his warriors were killed by Mexican troops on October 14, 1880. In 1885, the regiment was transferred to the Department of Arizona. Once again the 10th was involved in the arduous pursuit of renegade Apaches under the leadership of Geronimo, Mangus, and the Apache Kid. After twenty years of service in some of the most undesirable posts in the southwest, the regiment, now under the command of Colonel John K. Mizner, was transferred to the Department of Dakota in 1891. The regiment served at various posts in Montana and Dakotas until 1898. During the Spanish-American the four regiments served in Cuba and fought along side Teddy Roosevelt's "Rough Riders" and other units. While Teddy Roosevelt and his highly political volunteers got more press attention, the 10th Cavalry commanded by Col. John J. Pershing was instrumental in taking San Juan Hill. Many white officers refused to command black units thinking it would hurt their careers. Col. Pershing was given the nickname "Black Jack" because of his loyalty to the 10th and its troopers. It could hardly have hurt his career since he went on to command the American Expeditionary Forces in France in WWI and became the most famous American general of the first half of this century. In 1916 Black Jack Pershing was given the assignment of leading a campaign into Mexico to capture Pancho Villa. Pershing requested that the 10th Cavalry accompany him. The year spent chasing Villa proved to be the 10th Cavalry's toughest assignment. Finding Pancho Villa was like trying to catch a rat in a cornfield. Villa always seemed to stay ahead of the Army and avoid capture. America's leaders soon lost interest in the Campaign and focused their attention on World War I which was raging in Europe. However the Europeans had been unable to find a use for the Cavalry troops which were already in the theater. The 10th Cavalry spent the war in the United States. In World War II a similar thing happened to the cavalrymen. The 10th Cavalry was relegated to caretaker duties at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. Then in 1944 the 9th and 10th Cavalry were deactivated. But in 1958 the Ninth and Tenth Regiments were reactivated, and today, the First and Second Tank Battalions of the Tenth Cavalry at Fort Knox, Kentucky wear the Buffalo symbol. The Ninth Cavalry has a helicopter battalion in the 1st Cavalry Division at Fort Hood, Texas. NOTE: These units made up of black enlisted personnel and white officers were not the first of such units to serve on the Western Frontier. During late 1865 or early 1866 companies from the 57th United States Colored Infantry Regiment (Arkansas) and the 125th United States Colored Infantry Regiment (Kentucky) were assigned to posts in New Mexico to provide protection for white settlers in the area, and escort those going further west. Some of the companies served as mounted infantry.

This is a stereoscope card featuring William Jennings Bryan and his wife. This one is copyrighted 1897 by B.L.Lingley. William Jennings Bryan had quite a history! Here's his bio:

William Jennings Bryan (March 19, 1860 – July 26, 1925) was an American politician in the late-19th and early-20th centuries. He was a dominant force in the liberal wing of the Democratic Party, standing three times as its candidate for President of the United States (1896, 1900 and 1908). He lost, each time by a bigger margin. He served in Congress briefly as a representative from Nebraska and was the 41st United States Secretary of State under President Woodrow Wilson, 1913-1916. Bryan was a devout Presbyterian, a supporter of popular democracy, an enemy of gold, banks and railroads, a leader of the silverite movement in the 1890s, a peace advocate, a prohibitionist, and an opponent of Darwinism on religious grounds. With his deep, commanding voice and wide travels, he was one of the best known orators and lecturers of the era. Because of his faith in the goodness and rightness of the common people, he was called "The Great Commoner." In the intensely fought 1896 and 1900 elections, he was defeated by William McKinley but retained control of the Democratic Party. With over 500 speeches in 1896, Bryan invented the national stumping tour, in an era when other presidential candidates stayed home. In his three presidential bids, he promoted Free Silver in 1896, anti-imperialism in 1900, and trust-busting in 1908, calling on Democrats to fight the trusts (big corporations) and big banks, and embrace anti-elitist ideals of republicanism. President Wilson appointed him Secretary of State in 1913, but Wilson's strong demands on Germany after the Lusitania was torpedoed in 1915 caused Bryan to resign in protest. After 1920 he was a strong supporter of Prohibition and energetically attacked Darwinism and evolution, most famously at the Scopes Trial in 1925. Five days after winning the case, he died in his sleep

Here's an outstanding small grouping that I received from the Great great grandson of this Zouave Soldier. This soldier was a member of the 34th Ohio Infantry. The 34th Ohio Volunteer Infantry Regiment (or 34th OVI) was an infantry regiment that served in the Union Army during the American Civil War. It primarily served in the Eastern Theater in what is now West Virginia and in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley region. They are well known for wearing an americanized zouave uniform which consisted of: A dark blue jacket with red trimming, a pair of sky blue baggy trousers with two stripes of red tape going down vertically, a pair of tan gaiters, and a red ottoman styled fez with a blue tassel. They are known as Piatts Zouaves. The 34th Ohio was raised at Camp Lucas near Toledo on September 1, 1861. Most of the recruits came from the northwestern part of the state. After training and drilling, the new regiment moved to Camp Dennison on September 1, and then entrained for the front lines, arriving on September 20 at Camp Enyart on the Kanawha River in western Virginia. It initially served in the forces under George B. McClellan, and then under a variety of generals for the next two years while engaging in several raids and operations in the region. When the regiment's term of enlistment expired late in 1863, the men voted to re-enlist on December 23. They were part of Crook's Expedition against the Virginia & Tennessee Railroad in early May and fought in the Battle of Cloyd's Mountain on May 9 and later in the Battle of Cove Mountain and in other smaller engagements in the region. The 34th OVI was re-mustered as a veteran regiment on January 19, 1864, and participated in many of the battles of the Valley Campaigns of 1864, including the Battle of Opequon near Winchester, Virginia.[1] The 34th Ohio suffered 10 Officers and 120 enlisted men killed in battle or died from wounds, and 130 enlisted men dead from disease for a total of 260 fatalities.[2] The much depleted regiment was amalgamated with the 36th Ohio Infantry on February 22, 1865.

This soldier of the 34th Ohio is George Sheckler and here is his stats:

George Sheckler Residence was not listed; 23 years old. Enlisted on 8/1/1861 as a Private. On 8/15/1861 he mustered into "E" Co. OH 34th Infantry He was Mustered Out on 9/13/1864 at Columbus, OH Sources used by Historical Data Systems, Inc.: - Official Roster of the Soldiers of the State of Ohio (c) Historical Data Systems, Inc. @ www.civilwardata.com

This watercolor is outstanding showing Pvt. Sheckler standing holding a colt revolver in his right hand and a knife in his left. The colors are still vivid and this image is historically accurate to the Zouave uniform and the man. The image is 16 by 20 inches. Look at the detail in his face! This image is housed in a walnut frame with gesso sculpted inserts. There is some gesso loss but not bad at all and doesn't detract from the image. The frame measures 26 X 30 inches and has a single slat back. This image was probably duplicated from a photograph. OUTSTANDING!!!

The next piece is Pvt. Sheckler's Record of the service. This is entitled 1861-1865 WAR FOR THE UNION- RECORD OF THE SERVICE OF GEORGE SHECKLER. It goes on to list when he enlisted into Company E of the 34th Ohio Volunteers as a private and when and why he was discharged. The outside of the image shows all the Corps badges as well as the various badges from Hancock's First Veterans, Wilson's Cavalry, Sheridan's Cavalry, Signal Corps, and so forth! Outstanding color and quality. The document also lists the Battles and Skirmishes Pvt. Sheckler participated in. This document is part printed and part hand written. The bottom lists this document as a SOLDIER'S RECORD and was designed, Copyrighted and Published 1895 by J.P.Calvert, Mooresville, Ind. The back of the document frame has an old wood slat with the name of H. Snyder & Son, Columbia City, Ind and some printing on the bottom. This frame is also a gesso covered frame with more loss than the frame above. The document is 16 X 20 inches and the frame is 22 X 26 inches overall.

I was told by the grandson that Pvt. Sheckler settled in Indiana after the war. The grandson also furnished me with some copies of original documents that include his obituary and an invitation to their daughters wedding. These documents are copies of the original documents and not the originals. This is an outstanding pair of framed articles pertaining to the man who served in a Zouave unit during the Civil War. Great! $1,150.00 for both. Take a look at the pics!!! item photography 117

Here's an outstanding collection of ORIGINAL oil paintings of 5 prominent Civil War Generals. All of these Generals were present at Gettysburg. These original oil paintings were painted by Noel Y. Pantig. Three of the paintings are signed NY Pantig and two of them are simply signed NOEL. These paintings are fantastic and are mounted in their original frames. The canvas in stretchers measure about 20 X 24 inches while the overall frame measures about 25 X 29 inches. Each painting has the name of the general mounted on the frame. Outstanding quality! Here is Noel's bio:

Noel Y. Pantig

Noel Y. Pantig, a skilled craftsman, teacher, mentor, and Studio owner, specializes in oil portraits on canvas. What sets him apart is his uncommon ability to capture the personality and essence of every image he brings to life. Aside from his obvious artistic abilities, Noel has developed a reputation as one of the foremost international artist, which makes his works of art cherished and treasured by all. Noel grew up near Clark Air Base in the Philippines. As a young boy he often sat and watched the active base with amazement, as the planes flew in and out. Knowing a little about World War II from his parents stories of their relatives fighting as young Philippine service men along side American soldiers, made a lasting impression on him. Blessed at an early age with a talent for drawing, Noel often sat for hours upon hours sketching faces of his family and friends. It wasn’t until his teen years that he started working in oils and soon became recognized for his talents. In the early 80’s, Noel fine-tuned his skills while working for local art galleries as well as an international export organization, painting portraits from photographs as well as recreations of famous paintings. Today, Noel, with a penchant for American History, due in part to his childhood recollections, continues to paint but on a very exclusive basis. His exceptional hand- painted works of art can be found in such places as: VMI, The New Market Battlefield Military Museum, Port Columbus Civil War Naval Museum, along with other prominent institutions, Corporate offices and collectors walls. Noel is also a proud owner of a international art studio, where he develops the talents of artists who are aspiring to greater heights. He is truly a gifted artist!!!

The 5 different generals are:

General George Custer U.S.A.

General Winfield Hancock U.S.A.

General Lewis A. Armistead C.S.A.

General John Buford U.S.A.

and General George E. Pickett C.S.A.
