CDV - CONFEDERATE QUAKER GUNS AT CENTREVILLE
- This shot is by Mathew Brady in 1862 of the "Fortifications
on the Heights of Centreville" and designated as No. 300 in
Brady's Album Gallery. On the front in period ink is 'Lee Rebs
Wooden Guns'. These fake cannon gave Lee extra time to
evacuate the fortifications, while making McClellan think they
were stronly defended. Carte does have several nicks on the
edges.

12, 100 prisoners of which 2,970 died while in captivity, mainly
from disease. It was dubbed by the prisoners "Hellmira". Carte
does have several minor issues, a nick on the edge of the mount
and a few small wrinkles on the albumen paper, otherwise very
nice.

CDV - TENNESSEE STATE CAPITOL BUILDING IN
NASHVILLE
- Morse's Gallery of the Cumberland, Nashville
back mark with tax stamp. This well known photograph, taken of
the Capitol Building on the hill in Nashville, which if you have
ever been there appears to be the highest elevation in the city
proper. There are similar views that show troops and tents on the
grounds but this appears to have been taken after the troops left,
as there are what looks like boxes strewn throughout the grounds.

TINTYPE - WHITE & BLACK(?) WOMEN WITH AN
INTERESTING RELATIONSHIP
- Crisp tintype of the two
women and a strange note in a somewhat ominous tone, behind
the image in the case. The note is dated August, 1861 and it looks
like the image was taken in 1859. In the best of my transcribing it
reads: "Louisa, When shall we meet again? Changes must need
be in that I fear changes unlooked for, dark - sorrowful.
Whatever, wherever I may be live thou true to thy womanhood,
thy friend and thy God / M Alice G / Aug 1861 / Hyde Park
1859". Could this be in reference to the beginning of War,
Friendship between races / is slavery implied? Interesting to say
the least! Unfortunately the case is damaged and cover detached
but the note is fine and image near perfect. More shown in

and discharged a month later. Albumen (approx. 6 1/8" x
8 1/8"), tintype (1/6 plate) of Damon & his wife and a
tintype (1/9 plate) of Damon with his dog. Unfortunately
there is no written ID on any of these items, only a tag
from the gentleman that obtained it, a former dealer in
western Michigan. I assume that due to 3 images together
the ID is probably legitimate. The albumen has damage
as can be seen and really, the tintypes are nothing
spectacular but should be all together.

albumen image (mount approx. 4 5/8" x 5 7/8" &
image approx. 3 5/8" x 4 7/8") perhaps of a small
company showing 29 soldiers with 2 NCO's and
clean shots of 20 Colt Revolving Rifles and partial
views of the rest!! On the reverse in pencil is written
"21st Ohio" but serious doubt whether this could be
. Hard to say whether this is a period ID but I have
now reason to doubt it due to the uniforms and the
fact that the 21st Ohio was not a mounted infantry
regiment. The back round is a bit washed out but
looks to be a possible camp in the hills behind
(actually appears to be makeshift horse stables).  Not
the best of condition but content is killer!

- This is from the Brady Album
Gallery (No. 370) Headquarters Lafayette - Headquarters Gen'l
Porter - Farnhold's House and York River in Distance. Image was
Entered according to Act of Congress in the year 1862. Interesting
view with the (nearly falling down) house in the foreground and the
camp in the backround. There is a distinct possibility that the soldier
directly above 'Gibson' in the caption below could be a 13th
Pennsylvania Reserve Rifles (Bucktail). They were with Porter in
1862 when Porter's Division of the Third Corps was combined with
Sykes US Regulars into the 5th Corps. The soldier mentioned in the
photo, standing next to the Cavalry soldier, is shown with a short
rifle - not quite short enough for a carbine, definitely not long
enough for a .58 caliber rifle. The 13th (later known as the 42nd
PA) was issued Sharps rifles in September, 1862. He also looks to
have either a bucktail or plume in his hat. Interesting image. The
gun could possibly be something brought from home also as he
looks to have a powder flask hanging from his jacket and the angle
from the frame into the stock seems to be a bit excessive for a
Sharps. Two blacks (not soldiers) are also shown in the image.

CDV - THREE SOLDIERS WITH WINE AND CIGARS - Three enlistedmen
look like they're celebrating something. Each has a cigar and the one on the
right is pouring a glass of wine (I presume). Candid shot, no photograher's
back mark but unfortunately there is a huge abrasion running down in
between the middle and right soldiers. While detracting from the image, the
abrasion stays enough away from the subjects to be able to still enjoy the
shot.

TINTYPE - BLACK INDIAN WARS SOLDIER - 1/6 plate tintype black
soldier standing in Indian Wars 5 button sack coat. I can't tell you
enough how bad this image is - condition wise. It is very wrinkled, very
dark, it has been trimmed to a bit less than a full 1/6 plate but has no
issue what so ever staying behind the mat, has deep wrinkles on the finish
as can be seen in the close ups and is in a half case. I have some altered
images on the 'Additional Images' link that has it lighter so you can see
the actual image clearly and also the flaws. At the end of the day it still is
a black Indian Wars soldier.

MOUNTED ALBUMEN OF THE RICHARDSON LIGHT
GUARD
- Small albumen (approx 4 5/8" x 6 1/4" mount)
showing the Richardson Light Guard in 1862 at South
Reading, Mass. It has a period ink inscription on reverse
"Parade of the Richardson / Light Guard at South Reading /
Mass. in 1862 / H.D. Degen, Captain". The Richardson
Light Guard was designated as the 5th and 6th Regiment
Militia Infantry - both were 3 month regiments. Then Co. G
was designated as the 7th Independent Battery (for three
years). The 5th participated in the battle of 1st Bull Run,
The 6th, stationed in Baltimore for the riots. The records
state that it then became the 7th Ind. Battery but Henry H.
Degen was an officer in the 50th Massachusetts Infantry
from 1862-65 as 1st Lieut., and does not mention Captain.
Perhaps a bit more research can be done on this image.
