Twenty-third Light Battery

INDIANA (3-YEARS)

Twenty-third Light Battery. -- Capt., James H. Myers.

This battery was organized in the fall of 1862, and was mustered in Nov. 8. It was on duty in Indianapolis, principally in guarding prisoners, until July 1863.

A section of the battery accompanied the 71st regiment on a brief expedition into Monroe, Sullivan and Greene counties in June to quell disturbances created by the interference with and killing of the government officers engaged in the work of enrolling.

Orders were received on July 4, to send all available troops to Kentucky to intercept Morgan. The battery accompanied the troops to Louisville and rendered efficient service in the pursuit and capture of the raiding forces.

Returning to Indianapolis, it moved with the six months' regiments in Sept., 1863, to Camp Nelson, Ky., being assigned to Willcox's division, and proceeding with it to Cumberland Gap, thence to Knoxville it participated in the campaign in the mountains of eastern Tennessee.

It was engaged at and near Knoxville, the operations extending from Morristown to Greeneville, and from Bull's Gap to Cumberland Gap. The battery was assigned to the 23d army corps and took part with it in the Atlanta campaign.

After the occupation of that city the battery moved through Georgia and Tennessee; was engaged at Columbia and Franklin in November; and joined the forces at Nashville in time to take part in the battle before that city in December.

It then took part in pursuit of the retreating foe as far as Clifton, Tenn., where it took transports for Cincinnati moving thence to Washington, D. C. and Alexandria, Va., from which place it sailed for Wilmington, N. C.

It marched to Goldsboro, Raleigh and Greensboro, took part in the operations of Schofield's forces in that state, and after the surrender of Johnston's army was ordered home, reaching Indianapolis June 27, 1865, with 3 officers and 123 men. It was mustered out July 2, 1865.

Well, there you have it. Good History! For this image $275.00

Here we have a copy of the Patent #6,469 given to Abraham Lincoln for his idea fo buoying vessels over shoals in 1849! On May 22, 1849, Abraham Lincoln received Patent No. 6469 for a device to lift boats over shoals, an invention which was never manufactured. However, it eventually made him the only U.S. president to hold a patent. Here we have a copy of that patent that was reproduced early on but not in the original era. This one was made post 1866, as it was held together with wire staples. George McGill got the first patent for a bendable brass paper fastener in 1866. In 1867, he got the patent on a functional staple press, the ancestor of the modern stapler! At any rate this is a nice piece to have if you are an Abraham Lincoln collector. Most folks don't even know that this exists! Try to find another one! 2 pages with printing on two pages. For this piece of history $95.00

Here is an 1862 Confederate States of America $1 note in worn condition. 2 3/4 inches by 6 inches. After the Civil War broke out in 1861, the newly established Confederate government began to issue it's own money as legal tender to the citizens of the South. The gamble was that if the South won the war, the money would be redeemable. The 1st note from the Government of the Confederate States of America was issued in April of 1861. From then on, notes were issued on through 1864. Almost every Confederate note was painstakingly hand signed and numbered. It is not uncommon for these notes to have uneven, or rough borders since scissors or shears were used to hastily cut the sheets of notes apart. As previously mentioned this one is worn with numerous rolds but essentially all there. Blank on the back as normal. It is dated June 2, 1862. $75.00

Here we have a certificate for the Swiss Colonization Society of Indiana Conveying property in Tell City, Perry county, Indiana to a ZHenry Schreiber dated October 28th, 1862. The society was organized in 1856 in Cincinnati, a logical starting point for efforts to settle the great Ohio and Mississippi River valleys. The goal, unlike George Rapp’s vision of a religious community with communal values, was simply to find decent places to live, work and raise families. The first Swiss and German immigrants may have been looking for utopia, but it is probably fair to say they expected to take their values with them. Hard work, persistence and faith in God and neighbors were the characteristics that enabled the settlers to carve an entire town out of the river valley, coping with floods, droughts and an up-and-down national economy. It was a case of ordinary people with extraordinary abilities. More than 8,000 settlers bought shares in the new settlement that was to become Tell City. These were people like Frank Herm, who built the first house at Tell and Eighth streets and Charles Reiff, who started the first store in 1858. More than $140,000 was raised by the colonization society to purchase 4,154 acres of land with a price tag of $85,364. Copy and paste this address to see a complete history: https://www.perrycountynews.com/content/community-was-dream-swiss-colonization-society This document is on blue paper and has some seam separation but would like great framed! What History! This document measures over 12 inches by 8 inches. $45.00

Here we have a newspaper photo that was taken in the 'Old' days to print and run a story of the Flood in Muncie at what year I do not know but there might be a reference on it to '61. Now they are all digitally done. This one was taken by Jerry Brney of Muncie Newspapers, Inc. Here is some info on Jerry.

Gerald (Jerry) Ryo Burney was born in Marked Tree, Arkansas in 1942. He was raised by his mother, Marie, a homemaker, and father, David Burney, who was a successful farmer. He had two brothers, both his junior, Keith and Gary. He graduated from Marked Tree High School in 1959 and joined the U.S. Navy where he went to Photo School in Pensacola, Florida. Jerry was assigned to the U.S.S. Roosevelt Aircraft Carrier where he served as a Navy Photographer for two years. Jerry moved to Muncie, Indiana, after leaving the Navy where he began a thirty-four year career at the Muncie Star and Press, where he became Chief Photographer which is a role he maintained for most of this working life. In 1981, he married Rhonda Boyd and they had just celebrated their thirty-third wedding anniversary this year. In 1985, Jerry and his brother, Gary, founded the stereos tore, Great Sounds, which operated successfully in Muncie until August 2013.

Residence Monticello IN;

Enlisted on 11/5/1861 as a Private.

On 11/5/1861 he mustered into "E" Co. IN 46th Infantry

He was discharged for disability on 5/29/1862

Here's a little about the regiment during his time there:

This regiment was organized at Loganspott in Sept., 1861, and was mustered in Dec. 11. It left the state at once, going to Camp Wickliffe, Ky., and marched for Paducah on Feb. 16, 1862, joining Pope's army soon afterward in Missouri. It was in the attack on New Madrid in Match, put up a battery at Riddle's point and sustained an attack by five gunboats for over an hour without being dislodged. In April it started for Fort Pillow, but lay near Osceola for five weeks while attempting to pass the fort. On June 5 the flags of the 46th and 43d were raised over Fort Pillow and they occupied Memphis the next day. The 46th went up the White River with the gunboats, charged the works at St. Charles and drove out the enemy, capturing his guns and a number of prisoners. It accompanied a force to Crockett's bluff, marching across the country and driving back the enemy, then returned to Helena, where it was assigned to Gen. Hovey's division, with which it participated in expeditions to Clarendon, Arkansas Post, and down the Tallahatchie and Cold Water Rivers.

Nothing inside the cover but interesting non the less. For this piece with a 3 cent cancelled stamp $25.00

Here we have a photo of the Liberty Bell by Pass & Stow of Philadelphia. The Liberty Bell is a well-known symbol of freedom in the United States. The bell was first made in 1752 for the Pennsylvania State House, now known as Independence Hall. The bell was cast in London, England, and shipped to Pennsylvania. Soon after it arrived, the bell cracked. In 1753, a new bell was cast from the same metal by John Pass and John Stow. Their names and the year in Roman numerals, MDCCLIII, are marked on the bell. It also has a Bible verse written on it: “Proclaim LIBERTY throughout all the Land unto all the inhabitants thereof” (Leviticus 25:10). In the early 1800s, people who wanted to outlaw slavery called it the “Liberty Bell” and used it as a symbol for their cause. In 1846, another crack began to develop in the bell and it was repaired. It rang for George Washington’s birthday in that same year, but then it cracked again and has not been rung since. The bell traveled around the country after the Civil War (1861-1865), and since 1915 it has stayed in Philadelphia. The Liberty Bell is now on display in a visitor center next to Independence Hall, where many people come to see it each year. This image is in earlier cardstock from the 20th century and shows a 4 X 6 1/2 inch image on the card with a commentary by Samuel S. Reeves who was the Superintendant of Independance Hall. THe image is a little light. $25.00

Here we have a large photograph entitled the Reunion of the Forty-Sixth Regiment, Indiana Volunteers. Take at Logansport, Ind., Oct. 16,1889 by C.H.Stevens, Photographer. There is nothing written on the back but you can see the impression of the wood back that was against it in the frame. This photo is quite large measureing by the mat 12" by 10" and definitely frame worthy! THere are a few minor waterspots which is not uncommon at all. Lots of ribbons and badges shown here! This photo is fantastic with just a corner of the mat broken off not affecting the photograph at all. By 1889 some of these fellows were getting old. The 46th Indiana Infantry was organized at Logansport, Indiana and mustered in for a three-year enlistment on December 11, 1861 under the command of Colonel Graham Newell Fitch.

Here we have what looks like a staged Indian Wars Photo with a great content! This photo shows 3 soldiers in the lower Crown Kepis and 5 button sack coats with 2 of them attending a wounded soldier. The soldier on the right has the red cross arm band while the soldier on the left holds his rifle with bayonet attached and wears his large backpack. One of the early documents, such as the “Amelioration of the Conditions of the Wounded in Armies in the Field” signed August 22, 1864, by a number of Governments, already instructed that Flag and Arm Badges worn by Medical personnel would bear a Red Cross on a White Field. The belt plate looks like a 1872 Hagner type of plate with 3 letters on the front but I cannot make out what they are. The oval photo itself is 7 3/4 inches by 5 1/2 inches. There is a break clear through the photo but not much image is lacking and this is definitely worth framing! For this piece $125.00

There is some writing on the backs of a few which I believe is from a child. I will describe them in order by alphabet.

A. This is a CDV image of President Lincoln's FIrst Home In Illinois and was done in 1865. This may be a photo engraving and on the back is the history of the cabin. Photographed by J.L.Campbell, Chicago, Illinois. Nice!

B. This CDV is in rather poor condition but dipicts The Death Bed of Lincoln and was done in 1866 by J.H.Littlefield. Photo looks like an actual photo but probably a photo engraveur.

C. This CDV image was made by Conyer & Wharton of Lafayette, Indiana after President Lincoln's death and shows weaping soldiers at each corner at the top and a weapon lady at President Lincoln's coffin. This is a nice image.

D. This is a very nice hand colored CDV of the entire Lincoln's family as well as their deceased son in the portrait on the wall. No backmark. Entitled simply Lincoln and Family. Nice! Hand colored by ladies at the time.

E. Here is an actual photo CDV of President Lincoln and Tad. Some pencil markings on the back. The image is in fair condition being folded in the middle at one time but still really nice and aged!

F. This is an extremely rare "Paper" Ribbon worn on the coat after President Lincoln's assasination. This one was never used and in fantastic original condition. Can't do better than this! Four inches long by 1 1/8 wide. Nice!

G. Here is the Lincoln "Money" shot! This is the photo engraving that was used for the original photo for the $5 bill. It's been changed now but this is how it use to look. Lots of kid writting and a drawing of a person on the reverse. It starts out "And if we didn't meet again O' heres my head and heart" Nice sentiment. Check it out!

H. Here is a CDV engraving of the Lincoln family with Willie's portrait on the wall behind them. No backmark . A very nice family grouping.

I. Here is a photo engraving or retouched photo of President Lincoln and Mary Todd Lincoln. It has a card with it that indicates that this picture of Mary was printed from the original Matthew Brady Negative. No b/m Nice!

J. Here is a CDV engraving simply marked on the bottom A. LINCOLN. It's thinner than most and has no backmark.

K. Here is a CDV photo engraveur of President Lincoln waist up. There is no backmark.

L. Here is a CDV that is a little lighter than the others that is marked on the back that the ower is confused as to who this is. It's obviously an engraving of President Lincoln with some artistic liberty taken. Check it out! We would like to sell it as a group. For the group $2500.00

Here we have a CDV of Indiana's Beloved Civil War Governor! This is Oliver Perry Morton. Oliver Hazard Perry Throck Morton (August 4, 1823 – November 1, 1877), commonly known as Oliver P. Morton, was a U.S. Republican Party politician from Indiana. He served as the 14th Governor (the first native-born) of Indiana during the American Civil War, and was a stalwart ally of President Abraham Lincoln. During the war, Morton thwarted and neutralized the Democratic-controlled Indiana General Assembly. He exceeded his constitutional authority by calling out the militia without approval, and during the period of legislative suppression he privately financed the state government through unapproved federal and private loans. He was criticized for arresting and detaining political enemies and suspected southern sympathizers. As one of President Lincoln's "war governors", Morton made significant contributions to the war effort, more than any other man in the state, and earned the lifelong gratitude of former Union soldiers for his support. During his second term as governor, and after being partially paralyzed by a stroke, he was elected to serve in the U.S. Senate. He was a leader among the Radical Republicans of the Reconstruction era, and supported numerous bills designed to reform the former Southern Confederacy. In 1877, during his second term in the Senate, Morton suffered a second debilitating stroke that caused a rapid deterioration in his health; he died later that year. Morton was mourned nationally and his funeral procession was witnessed by thousands. He is buried in Indianapolis's Crown Hill Cemetery. THis CDV is in good overall condition for it's age. It is an actual photo and was daken by Davies & Merritt of Indianapolis dur the war years. The back also has a 2 cent Revenue stamp affixed to it. For this CDV of a most important man in Indiana during the Civil War $65.00

Here is a RARE Letter from a soldier in CUBA during the 2nd Occupation of Cuba! Most Americans have never heard of this second occupation after the Spanish American War! The Second Occupation of Cuba by United States military forces, officially the Provisional Government of Cuba, lasted from September 1906 to February 1909. When the government of Cuban President Tomás Estrada Palma collapsed, U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt ordered U.S. military forces into Cuba. Their mission was to prevent fighting between the Cubans, to protect U.S. economic interests there, and to hold free elections in order to establish a new and legitimate government. Following the election of José Miguel Gómez in November 1908, U.S. officials judged the situation in Cuba sufficiently stable for the U.S. to withdraw its troops, a process that was completed in February 1909.[1][2] An earlier occupation lasted from 1898–1902, from the conclusion of peace between the United States and Spain at the end of the Spanish–American War until the inauguration of the Republic of Cuba.

Here we have a letter written from Havana by Soldier named Collins of Co. F, 27th Infantry to Mr. George Hight of Cyclone, Indiana on November 1, 1906. He talks about what he is doing outside of Havana with guard duty and so on. This 2 page letter comes with the original envelope that's been opened on the end. A partial stampe remains.

Here is a CDV engraving on thin cardstock of Maj. General Thomas, the Rock of Chickamauga! Thomas, George H., major-general, one of the ablest, purest and most successful of the military chieftains of the Civil war, was born in Southampton county, Va., July 31, 1816. His early opportunities of education were good and at the age of twenty he had just entered upon the study of law when his friends secured him an appointment as cadet at the military academy at West Point. He entered in 1836 and, after a thorough and solid rather than a brilliant course, he graduated in 1840, ranking twelfth in a class of 42 members among whom were Sherman, Ewell, Jordan, Getty, Herbert, Van Vliet and others who afterward attained celebrity. Assigned to duty on the day of graduation as second lieutenant in the 3d artillery, he served in the regular army for twenty years, during which time he rendered honorable and faithful service in the Florida war from 1840 to 1842; in command of various forts and barracks from 1842 to 1845; in the military occupation of Texas in 1845-46; in the Mexican war from 1846 to 1848 participating in nearly all its leading battles in the Seminole war in 1849-50; as instructor in artillery and cavalry at West Point from 1851 to 1854; on frontier duty at various posts in the interior of California and Texas, leading several expeditions against the Indians from 1855 to the autumn of 1860. During these twenty years he was repeatedly brevetted for gallant and meritorious services, rising through all the grades to a captain of artillery, and in 1855 was made a major of the 2nd cavalry, which regiment he commanded for three years. He was wounded in a skirmish with the Indians at the headwaters of the Brazos river in Aug., 1860, and the following November went east on a leave of absence. During the winter of 1860-61 he watched with the most painful anxiety the culmination of that conflict of opinion which preceded the war. Relinquishing his leave of absence he reported for duty at Carlisle barracks, Pa., April 14,- the day when the flag went down at Sumter-and less than 48 hours after the first shot was fired. On May 27 he led a brigade from Chambersburg across Maryland to Williamsport, rode across the Potomac in full uniform at the head of his brigade on June 16, to invade Virginia and fight his old commanders; a few days afterward he led the right wing of Gen. Patterson's army in the battle of Falling Waters and defeated the Confederates under Stonewall Jackson. After serving through the brief campaign of the Shenandoah Gen. Thomas entered upon that wider sphere of action in which he was destined to win an undying reputation. At Gen. Robert Anderson's request Sherman and Thomas were made brigadier-generals of volunteers and assigned to his command- the Department of the Cumberland. The first month's work that Thomas performed in the department was at Camp Dick Robinson, Ky. where he mustered into service eleven regiments and three batteries of Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky and Tennessee troops, which he organized into the first brigade, and which formed the nucleus of the division, then of the corps and finally of the great army which he afterward so long commanded. He was soon placed in command of the 1st division of the army and on Dec. 31 was ordered to move against Zollicoffer, who commanded a large force occupying the road leading from Cumberland gap to Lexington, Ky. In pursuance of this order Gen. Thomas fought and won the battle of Mill Springs, which was by far the most important military success that had yet been achieved west of Virginia, and with the exception of the defeat of Marshall near Prestonburg a few days before, it was the first victory in the department. In this battle Gen. Thomas laid the foundation of his fame in the Army of the Center. From Nov. 30, 1861, to Sept. 30, 1862, he commanded a division of Gen. Buell's army without intermission, except that during the months of May and June he commanded the right wing of the Army of the Tennessee and around Corinth. On Sept. 30, 1862, he was appointed second in command of the Army of the Ohio, having previously refused the chief command, and served in that capacity in the battle of Perryville and until Oct. 30, 1862, when the old name of Department the Cumberland was restored and Gen. Rosecrans assumed command. That officer reorganized the army into three distinct commands-right, left and center-and assigned Thomas to the center, which consisted of five divisions. He held this command in the battle of Stone's river and until Jan. 9, 1863, when the 14th army corps was created by order of the war department, and Thomas commanded it during the summer campaign in middle Tennessee and the Chickamauga campaign. On Sept. 27, 1864, after the capture of Atlanta, he was ordered by Gen. Sherman to return with a portion of his army into Tennessee and defend that state against Hood's invasion. Thus Thomas was confronted by that veteran army which had so ably resisted Sherman on his march to Atlanta, and had to meet it with an effective force of about 40,000 infantry and 7,000 cavalry, having to remount the latter, provide transportation, and almost to organize and supply a new army. Although severely checked by Schofield at Franklin, Tenn., Hood gathered head and threatened Nashville. Then the government and country waited impatiently for Thomas to attack, but be would not move until he was ready. He thought he "ought to be trusted to decide when the battle should be fought," and to know better than any one hundreds of miles away. Grant called him "slow," Sherman commented on his "provoking, obstinate delay," and Stanton, still actuated by the partisan bitterness that had caused him to secure the removal of two successful commanders, wrote to Grant: "This looks like the McClellan and Rosecrans strategy of do nothing and let the enemy raid the country." Urgent despatches and orders rained in upon him, but he said they might remove him if they liked and complained to one of his generals, "They are treating me like a boy." An order removing him was actually made on Dec. 9, but happily revoked. On Dec. 13 Gen. Logan was started for Nashville with orders to take the command on his arrival if Thomas had not moved, and two days later Grant himself set out thither. On the road both received the great news of the battle of Dec. 15. Thomas had at length attacked, driving the enemy eight miles, and Hood, "for the first and only time, beheld a Confederate army abandon the field in confusion." On the next day Thomas completely redeemed his promise to "ruin Hood," whose army was broken to pieces and chased out of Tennessee. But even here the victor was blamed as dilatory in the pursuit, although the reward of his splendid services could no longer be kept back. When he received his commission as major-general in the regular army his friend and medical director, seeing that he was deeply moved, said: "It is better late than never, Thomas." "It is too late to be appreciated," he replied; "I earned this at Chickamauga," and afterward, "I never received a promotion they dared to withhold." But the nation was by this time ready to recognize Gen. Thomas' merits and to understand that it was solely by his remarkable abilities, without the influence of powerful friends, that he had attained a position second to that of no officer of the army. Honors and rewards were pressed upon him, but with a simple dignity of character he declined them all, satisfied with having done his duty. After the war he was placed in command successively of the most important and difficult military departments, often under circumstances of great responsibility and delicacy, but his conduct gave general satisfaction. Gen. Thomas' death was the result of apoplexy and occurred in San Francisco, Cal., March 28, 1870. Source: The Union Army, vol. 8

Here we have a CDV photoengraveur of General Rosecrans. Rosecrans, William S., major-general, was born at Kingston, Ohio, Sept. 6, 1819, and was graduated fifth in the class of 1842, at the West Point military academy. He entered the U. S. engineer corps, as second lieutenant by brevet, serving for a year in the construction of fortifications at Hampton Roads, Va. He was assistant professor of natural and experimental philosophy, and then of engineering, for four years, at the U. S. military academy. He was next the superintending engineer at Fort Adams, Newport, R. I., and of several surveys in eastern New England, and at the Washington navy yard, until April 1, 1854. Having attained the rank of first lieutenant, he resigned from the army and began business life at Cincinnati, Ohio, as civil engineer and architect. From 1855 to 1860 he was in charge of the Cannel coal company in western Virginia, and in 1856 became the president of the Coal river navigation company. In 1857 he organized the Preston coal oil company for the manufacture of kerosene. At the beginning of the Civil war he entered the service as colonel of the 23d regiment U. S. Ohio volunteer infantry. Within a month he was made brigadier-general in the U. S. regular army, and ordered to accompany Gen. George B. McClellan to West Virginia, where he commanded a provisional brigade of three-months' volunteers until July 23, 1861, when he succeeded Gen. McClellan in command of the Department of the Ohio. In September, when the Confederates, Floyd and Wise, sought to get possession of the Great Kanawha valley, Gen. Rosecrans marched 110 miles, defeated Floyd at Carnifix ferry and ultimately compelled their retreat through the mountains to Dublin, on the Southwestern Virginia & Tennessee railway. He received, shortly after, resolutions unanimously framed by the legislatures of West Virginia and Ohio, thanking him for his successful military operations and civil administration. In April, 1862, he received the command of Paine's and Stanley's divisions of the Mississippi army, and took part in the siege of Corinth. With two divisions of the Army of the Mississippi, on Sept. 19, he fought and won the battle of Iuka, against the forces of Gen. Price, and on Oct. 3 and 4, with the remnants of those two divisions, and McKean's and Davis's, he also routed the forces of Price and Van Dorn at the battle of Corinth, and pursued them until he was recalled by Gen. Grant. On Oct. 30 he assumed command of the Department of the Cumberland, and on Dec. 31, following, the sanguinary battle of Stone's river began. It was fought on that day and on Jan. 1 and 2, 1863, and it ended with the retreat of the Confederates along the line of Duck river. In view of this victory the U. S. congress unanimously passed a joint resolution of thanks, as did the legislatures of Ohio and Indiana. On June 23 Gen. Rosecrans began his next movement, drove the Confederates out of their camps at Shelbyville and Tullahoma, and in fifteen days forced them to retreat to the south side of the Tennessee river, with headquarters at Chattanooga. Demonstrations toward Decatur, Ala., deceived Bragg, and Rosecrans crossed the Tennessee, threatened Bragg's communication with Atlanta, and compelled him to withdraw from Chattanooga to Lafayette. Rosecrans then got between Bragg and Chattanooga, concentrated his forces on the roads leading to Chattanooga, and after the sanguinary battle of Chickamauga held possession of the roads, and on Sept. 21 took and held possession of Chattanooga. On Jan. 27, 1864, he was placed in command of the Department of the Missouri, and although previous commanders had encountered insuperable obstacles in administration, in the face of these difficulties he so managed and concluded a campaign against the Confederate Gen. Price, that his army was defeated and driven out of the state. On Dec. 1O, 1864, he was placed on waiting orders at Cincinnati, Ohio, and was mustered out of the U. S. volunteer service, Jan. 15, 1866. He resigned from the U. S. regular army, March 28, 1867, having been brevetted major-general, U. S. A., on March 13, 1865, for gallant and distinguished services at the battle of Stone's river, Tenn. In the year 1868 Gen. Rosecrans was appointed U. S. minister to Mexico, and reached that country in November. In 1880 he was elected to the U. S. house of representatives from the state of California, and served until March 4, 1885. In June, 1885, he was appointed register of the U. S. treasury, at Washington, D. C., which office he held until 1893. On Feb. 27, 1889, by act of Congress he was re-appointed brigadier- general, U. S. army, and was placed on the retired list on March 2, following. Gen. Rosecrans died on March 11, 1898. Source: The Union Army, vol. 8

C., at that time kept by Salmon P. Chase, afterward chief- justice of the United States supreme court. Subsequently he attended the military academy near Philadelphia, and in 1831, entered the academy at West Point, whence he graduated in 1835, as brevet second lieutenant of the 3d artillery. The same year he was made second lieutenant, and served in Florida in the Seminole war. The state of his health induced him to resign his commission in 1836, and he became a civil engineer, but, in 1842, he again entered the army, as second lieutenant in the corps of topographical engineers, and in that capacity served in the Mexican war. During this campaign he was attached to the staff of Gen. Taylor, and afterward to that of Gen. Scott distinguishing himself at Palo Alto and Monterey, and receiving, as an acknowledgment of his gallantry, a brevet of first lieutenant, dated Sept 23, 1846, and also upon his return to Philadelphia, a splendid sword from his townsmen. During the interim between the Mexican war and the Civil war, having been promoted to a full first lieutenancy in Aug., 1851, and to a captaincy of engineers in May, 1855, he was engaged in the particular duties of his department, more especially in the survey of the northern lakes; but upon the call of the government for men in 1861, he was ordered to report at Washington, and upon the organization of the Pennsylvania reserve corps, was made a brigadier-general of volunteers and assigned the command of the 2nd brigade, his commission dating Aug. 31, 1861. During the Seven Days' battles Gen. Meade was severely wounded, but soon recovered and, in Sept., 1862, took command of a division in Reynolds' 1st army corps, which he conducted with great skill and bravery during the Maryland campaign. At Antietam, when Gen. Hooker was wounded, Gen. Meade was placed in command of the corps and fought bravely the remainder of the day, receiving a slight wound and having two horses killed under him. He received the appointment of major- general of volunteers on Nov. 29, and took part in the battle of Fredericksburg, displaying courage and coolness during the engagement. In June, 1863, when Lee was advancing up the Shenandoah valley to invade Maryland and Pennsylvania, Gen. Meade was suddenly and unexpectedly called to succeed Gen. Hooker in the command of the Army of the Potomac, and he displayed masterly ability throughout the three days' battle of Gettysburg. Following this engagement, about July 18, he moved his army across the Potomac into Virginia, where he had several skirmishes with the enemy in October and November, and he was in command of the Army of the Potomac during the operations against Richmond in 1864. On June 18, 1862, Gen. Meade was promoted to the rank of major of engineers in the regular army, and on July 3, 1863, was advanced by the several grades of lieutenant-colonel and colonel to the brigadier-generalship in the regular army. During the session of 1863-64 he received the thanks of Congress, and was on Feb. 1, 1865, promoted a major-general in the regular army, his commission dating from Aug. 18, 1864. In the reconstruction of the military divisions after the war, Gen. Meade was given the command of the division of the Atlantic, with headquarters at Philadelphia, where he resided in the house presented to his wife by his fellow- citizens, in grateful recognition of his eminent services. He died at this residence in Philadelphia, Nov. 6, 1872. Source: The Union Army, vol. 8 This is an excellent period CDV with Maj Gen G.G. Meade printed at the bottom.

Here we have a bust view CDV of General McCook. McCook, Alexander McD., major-general, was born in Columbiana county, Ohio, April 22, 1831. He was graduated at the United States military academy in 1852, served for a time on garrison duty, was then engaged against the Apaches in New Mexico until 1857, and was subsequently assistant instructor in infantry tactics at West Point, becoming 1st lieutenant in At the beginning of the Civil war he was commissioned colonel of the 1st Ohio regiment, with which he engaged in the defenses of Washington, May-July, 1861. He was promoted captain in the 3d U. S. infantry, May 14, 1861; participated in the skirmish at Vienna, Va., June 17, and at the battle of Bull Run, where he commanded his regiment, he won the brevet of major for gallantry. He was appointed brigadier-general of volunteers Sept. 3, 1861, and commanded a brigade in the operations in Kentucky, from Oct. to Dec., 1861, and the 2nd division, Army of the Ohio, under Maj.-Gen. Buell in the Tennessee and Mississippi campaign, Feb.-June, 1862. He was brevetted lieutenant-colonel at the capture of Nashville, March 3, 1862, and colonel on April 7, for services at Shiloh. In the advance upon the siege of Corinth he commanded the reserve of the Army of the Ohio, his division engaging, however, at Bridge creek and at Serratt's hill, and he then served in northern Alabama and in east Tennessee, being commissioned major-general of volunteers July 17, 1862. He was then placed in command of the 20th army corps, with which he served in the campaigns of Perryville, Stone's river, Tullahoma and Chickamauga. He was relieved of his command, Oct. 6, 1863, shortly after the battle of Chickamauga, and asked for a court of inquiry which found him free from all blame. He was engaged in the defense of Washington on July 11 and 12, 1864, was assigned to duties in the middle division in Nov., 1864 and in Feb., 1865, was placed in command of the eastern district of Arkansas. He represented the war department in the investigation of Indian affairs May 6, 1865. On March 13, 1865, he was brevetted brigadier-general U. S. A. for gallant and meritorious services at Perryville, and major- general U. S. A., for services in the field during the war. Gen. McCook was mustered out of the volunteer service, Oct. 21, 1865; was appointed lieutenant-colonel of the 26th infantry, March 5, 1867; served subsequently on the staff of Gen. W. T. Sherman, and was promoted colonel of the 6th infantry, Dec. 16, 1880, commanding the infantry and cavalry school at Fort Leavenworth, Kan. He was appointed brigadier- general July 11, 1890; major-general Nov. 9, 1894, and retired by operation of law, April 22, 1895. He represented the United States at the coronation of the czar of Russia, at Moscow, May 24, 1896, and was a member of the commission appointed by President McKinley to investigate the war department during the war with Spain, Sept. 23, 1898, to Feb. 1O, 1899.

Here we have a nice CDV of Charles Dickens. Charles John Huffam Dickens ( 7 February 1812 – 9 June 1870) was an English writer and social critic. He created some of the world's best-known fictional characters and is regarded by many as the greatest novelist of the Victorian era. His works enjoyed unprecedented popularity during his lifetime, and by the 20th century critics and scholars had recognised him as a literary genius. His novels and short stories enjoy lasting popularity.

Here we have, from life, a great CDV of General Crittenden. He is shown sitting with his sword at his side. The CDV is in nice condition with slightly clipped corners. Here is the General's bio:

Crittenden, Thomas L., major-general, was born in Rus- sellville, Ky. May 15, 1819, studied law under his father, was admitted to the bar, and was elected commonwealth's attorney in Kentucky in 1842. 1n the Mexican war he served as lieutenant- colonel of Kentucky infantry, and was volunteer aide to Gen. Taylor in the battle of Buena Vista. He was from 1849 to 1853, under appointment from President Taylor, consul to Liverpool, then returned to the United States, resided for a time in Frankfort, and afterwards engaged in mercantile pursuits in Louisville, Ky. Espousing the Union cause at the beginning of the Civil war, he was commissioned brigadier-general, Oct. 27, At Shiloh he commanded a division and won by gallantry on that field promotion to major-general of volunteers, being assigned to command of a division in the Army of the Tennessee. He com- manded the 2nd corps, forming the left wing of Gen. Buell's Army of the Ohio, served afterwards under Gen. Rosecrans in the battle of Stone's river, and at Chickamauga commanded one of the two corps that were routed. He was afterwards given com- mand of a division of the 9th corps, Army of the Potomac, and operated with that corps in the campaign of 1864. He resigned, Dec. 13, 1864 but was afterwards commissioned by President Johnson colonel of the 32nd U. S. infantry, and in 1869 was transferred to the 17th infantry. He was retired by reason of his age, May, 1881. Gen Crittenden won by gallantry at Stone's river the brevet of brigadier-general in the regular army, which was conferred on him, March 2, 1867. He died at Annan- dale, Staten 1sland N. Y., Oct. 23, 1893. Source: The Union Army, vol. 8

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.

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

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:

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.

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.

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.

There is one small broken corner on it. For this Cowboy postcard $20.00 photography 05

I have a small grouping of photographs from the 158th Indiana that served from 1898-1899. RECORD OF INDIANA VOLUNTEERS IN THE SPANISH AMERICAN WAR 1898-1899 The 158th Regiment of Infantry, Indiana Volunteers, was formed of the 2d Regiment Infantry, Indiana National Guard, and was composed of companies from Indianapolis (3), Rochester, Frankfort, Franklin, Winchester, Covington, Sheridan Martinsville, Kokomo and Crawfordsville. The regiment arrived at Camp Mount April 26, 1898, under orders from the Governor, for the purpose of being mustered into the service of the United States. After the physical examination of officers and men, the regiment was mustered into the Volunteer Service of the United States on May 10, 1898, and left for Camp Thomas, Chickamauga Park, Georgia on May 16, arrived there on May 18, and went into camp. Broke camp at Camp Thomas August 25, under orders to proceed to Camp Poland, Knoxville, Tennessee, where it arrived August 26. Having been ordered home for muster out, the regiment left Camp Poland on September 12 and arrived at Camp Mount on September 14. The regiment was furloughed for thirty days from September 17 and was finally mustered out and discharged November 4, 1898. Here is a list of the photographs in this grouping:

1. Cabinet card of a Second Lt. with Sword. On back in pencil is 'Co. D-158th Ind. F.Reuben'

2. Cabinet card of group of soldiers with stacked rifles- camp scene. Co. D 158th Ind. on back.

3. Cabinet card of soldiers at attention in front of tents with stacked rifles. Co. D. 158th Ind.

4. Cabinet card of soldiers around soldier on stretcher. Co. D. 158th Ind.

5. Sm. Card of stacks of arms and gear in woods. Co. D. 158th Ind on back.

6. Sm. Card of soldiers marching in underwear in woods. Co. D. 158th Ind on back.

7. Cabinet card of Civil War Indiana Monument on Chickamauga Battlefield

8. Cabinet card of Civil War 18th Ind Battery Monument on Chickamauga Battlefield.

Image 108

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

Image 104

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

Here's another stereo-optic card entitled ROCK OF AGES - THE RESCUE. This one is copyrighted 1895 by Littleton View Co. The above phrase ROCK OF AGES - THE RESCUE is on the back of the card in 6 different languages! Nice card! $3.00 item photography 3

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 we have 4 cabinet cards from about 1880 showing the railroad at Madison Indiana near the Ohio River. Two of the photos are looking at the J.M. & I. Railroad (don't know what the J.M & I stand for) at Madison Indiana. They each measure about 4 1/2 X 6 1/2 and have descriptions on the back. They are somewhat faded but better than what my pics show. Two pics are from the P.C.C. & St. L. R. R. (something and St. Lawrence Rail Road), $25.00 for all. item photography 5

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! The only difference in these photos are the conditions of the mats-the photos are just great! Look at the pics! $75.00 each. item photography 7

UNITED STATES GOVERNORS FROM WAYNE COUNTY, INDIANA. These accomplished individuals were born and/or resided in Wayne County. #1; The 4th Governor of Indiana, James Brown Ray. 2-19-1794 ~ 8-4-1848 RAY WAS INDIANA’S YOUNGEST GOVERNOR AT AGE 31 Resided in Centerville, Indiana Wayne County Indiana Prosecutor in 1819 Practiced law in Centerville, Indiana- when Centerville was the County Seat of Wayne County Resided in Connersville, Indiana for short time and was Fayette County Deputy Clerk Acting Governor of Indiana from 1822 until 1825 Lt. Governor from 1824 until 1825 Was the Elected Governor of Indiana from 1825 until 1831, during which time the State’s population grew by 55% Promoted the growth of Indiana Railroads Died at age 54 from Cholera James B. Ray, for whom Raysville (Henry County, Indiana) was named, was the fourth Governor of the State of Indiana, serving as such for nearly seven years. His predecessor, Governor William Hendricks, having been elected a United States Senator, resigned as Governor, February 12, 1825, when he was succeeded by Ray, then the President of the State Senate. 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. He was a worthy man and a good citizen.

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

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.

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.

William McKinley, Jr. (January 29, 1843 – September 14, 1901) was the 25th President of the United States, and the last veteran of the American Civil War to be elected to the office.

The President McKinley grouping includes a book entitled MEMORIAL LIFE OF WILLIAM McKINLEY-OUR MARTYRED PRESIDENT and 3 stereo optic cards of the period. The book is in good condition with some spline separation and loads of photos! This book was written after his assassination in 1901 by Col. G.W. Townsend and is a first edition.

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!!!

Here we have a ton of original prints that were taken from FRANK LESLIE'S SCENES AND PORTRAITS OF THE CIVIL WAR. These were done in 1865 I believe and although I would never take apart a book to sell the prints I found these prints already separated from the book. So here they are. I've shown several of the prints which are on both sides of the paper but different images. The pages are 16 inches by 11 inches and the prints are still vivid. Take a look at the pics. I did not take photos of all of them but the subject matter is quite varied and shows battle scenes from Gettysburg as well as down south. Riverboats and ironclads are present as well as battlemaps and Generals from the Civil War. Take a look and if there's anything you would like or want me to check for let me know at tc1861@yahoo.com Each print is $9. One of the prints is a double sheet.

Here we have come across a series of 8 photographs and copies of photographs from the Noah Hamilton Rose Collection! Noah Hamilton Rose (April 9, 1874 – January 25, 1952) was a painter and photographer. He developed an impressive collection of photographs of the old West that included images of many notable individuals from the era. Here is some info on him: Noah Hamilton Rose (April 9, 1874 – January 25, 1952), printer, photographer, and collector of photographs of the frontier West, was born seventy-five miles northwest of San Antonio in Kendall County on April 9, 1874, the son of Newton C. and Loutilda (White) Rose. In 1884, his father, a carpenter, moved his family to Menardville (now Menard). Rose was educated in rural schools and in 1888 at the age of 14 began working as an apprentice in the office of the Menardville Monitor. His family subsequently moved to Ballinger, where Rose worked on the local paper. In 1891, he returned to work on the Menardville Record. During this period he taught himself to take and develop photographs with a small box camera and printing supplies that he had received as a premium for selling subscriptions to the Youth’s Companion, a popular family weekly. In 1892, he left Menardville to work at the Mason Herald. He spent the next thirty years working as an itinerant printer and photographer in Sonora, Menardville, Eagle Pass, Del Rio, and numerous small towns in West, Central, and North Texas. In addition to standard portrait work, he documented events such as the flood at Menardville in June 1899 and the 1902 land rush in Junction. While working in the Eagle Pass-Del Rio area in 1901 Rose began taking pictures of news events and developing them into lantern slides ready for projection the same day. He focused on such violent events as hangings and shoot-outs and interesting frontier figures-gunmen, sheriffs, politicians, judges. Rose began seeking out old photographs and corresponded with Emmett Dalton and other noted personalities to obtain pictures. From 1904 to 1919 he operated a photography studio in Del Rio and continued to build his collection of frontier photographs. He subsequently worked in central west Texas before settling in San Antonio in 1921. Rose’s early years there were inauspicious: he endured a long illness and thereafter suffered a fractured skull when he was hit by a car. Faced by a large debt for medical bills upon his recovery, he decided to focus his business exclusively on photographs of the old West. He made up a list of negatives that he had collected, printed a catalogue, and soon developed a booming mail-order business selling photographs to magazines, collectors, and writers. According to Rose, pictures of such outlaws as Jesse and Frank James, Billy the Kid, Belle Starr, Jim and Bob Younger, and the Dalton gang were most in demand, followed in popularity by pictures of peace officers, Indians, Texas Rangers, and pioneers. He supplemented his stock by buying the rights to photographs owned by A. A. Brack, owner of Brack’s Studio of San Antonio, and eventually collected over 2,000 images. With his childhood friend John Marvin Hunter, Rose published an Album of Gunfighters in 1951. His collection of photographs was sold and is now in the collection of the University of Oklahoma in Norman. Sources • J. Marvin Hunter, “Noah Rose, A Frontier Photographer”, Frontier Times, November 1935. • J. Marvin Hunter, “The Passing of a Life-Long Friend”, Frontier Times, February 1952. • Oran Warder Nolen, “Noah H. Rose, Frontier Cameraman,” Old West, Spring 1968. • Noah Hamilton Rose, A Catalog of the World Famous N. H. Rose Collection of Old Time Photographs of the Frontier (Houston: Frontier Pix, 1952). Most of these photos are from the old west but a couple are not. I have uncovered a couple because the mats need re glued and they are marked with Rose’s name and are marked San Antonio. Most have writing on the back while one is unmarked and one has newpaper clippings pasted on the back. These photographs are glossy so there is some glare from my camera. Frank James, Robert Ford, Henry Starr, Will James with Emmett Dalton and George Cole, Charles William Quantrill, Charles Ford and a group of Indiana folks including a policeman standing by the bodies of 2 slain Indiana Deputy Sheriffs killed by escaping inmates!!! Check ‘em all out! Outstanding! $250 a photo or make an offer on the entire collection!

Here we have a 1918 framed diploma certificate for the Junior Rifle Corps awarded to Anthony Gardt. The certificate is in generally good condition with some foxing and was folded at one time. The concept of the Junior Rifle Corp. was derived from publications in 1906 & 1907 by E. J. D. Newitt & George W. Wingate, who was a Spanish American War veteran as well as an NRA founder & past president. Winchester established the Junior Rifle Corp. in June of 1918 to promote the moral benefits of organized marksmanship training, individual accomplish & women's rights in post WWI America. Certificates & marksmanship medals designed by Winchester engraver Herman L. Ulrich were awarded for marksmanship accomplishments. Comradeship & lasting relationship along members were a result of the program. Many of it's members were absorbed by the Civilian Marksmanship Program after the Corp. was abandoned in 1930. A partially printed document, 6 x 9 inches of the above title made out to Anthony Gardt, Dec 10th, 1918 and signed by president of Winchester, Winchester Bennett. In a frame but needs matted. For this historic piece! $95.00

>Here we have a CDV sized photograph of a Spanish American Soldier with probably who is a Filipino as I believe this may be from the battle of Manilla. This soldier has been in the jungle for awhile as his shirt is all ragged. He carries the usual equipment along with his 30-40 Krag rifle. There is a lot of writting on the back buy all I can make out is his name probably as ?? Forsythe and Frankfort, Indiana which is where this photo came from. Nice image!!! $65.00

Here we have a small card sized document entitled DOMAIN OF THE GOLDEN DRAGON. The Domain of the Golden Dragon is an unofficial but highly coveted award of the United States Navy and the United States Coast Guard. It is given to crew members of ships which cross the International Date Line. You enter the dragon's empire when you cross the International Date Line by sailing west, where Asian nations celebrate the power of the dragon. With the extensive Navy operations in the Far East since (and before) World War II, this passage has become so common that few initiation ceremonies are actually held. But the certificate, decorated with Chinese-style dragon, is still given out.

It is also awarded to dependents travelling together with their Military Sponsor.

This certificate was not only available to American sailors and other military branch members, but was also available to British Sailors when crossing the international date line. The British copies were printed by Gale & Polden Ltd. Portsmouth, England. This partiuclar one was fiven to George D. Sickels who was on board the U.S.S. General W.A.Mann (AP-112) in 1952. USS General W. A. Mann (AP-112) was a troop transport that served with the United States Navy in World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War. For this card $20.00

My pics are lighter than the actual image is. Still pretty clear showing military jackets and vets with larger brass buttons. The back is backmarked Fom Sunbeam Studio Dayton, Ohio. Still nice! $45.00
