21300 - COLONEL FRANCIS BARTOW, Carte de Viste by Quimby & Co of Charleston, SC from life pose. Colonel Francis Stebbins Bartow (September 6, 1816 - July 21, 1861) was an attorney, Confederate States of America political leader, and military officer during the early months of the American Civil War. He was an inaugural representative ot the Confederate Provisional Congress, where he led efforts to prepare for the coming war. Bartow was killed at the First Battle of Manassas, becoming the first brigade commander in the Confederate States Army to die in combat. Bartow commanded the 7th & 8th Georgia Regiments -- the 9th Georgia Regiment, Pope's and Duncan's Kentucky Battalions Infantry remained at Piedmont Station and were no present on July 21, 1861. He addressed his troops, "...but remember, boys, that battle and fighting mean death, and probably before sunrise some of us will be dead." Early the next morning, Bartow had the 7th and 8th Georgia march to the left flank of the army. He was shot from his horse leading his troops at Manassas and killed.

1242 - GENERAL WADE HAMPTON, CSA, Carte de Viste, Salt print of General Wade Hampton in Confederate Uniform. In the Gettysburg Campaign, Hampton was slightly wounded in the Battle of Brandy Station, the war's largest cavalry battle. His brigade then participated in Stuart's wild adventure to the northeast, swinging around the Union army and losing contact with Lee. Stuart and Hampton reached the vicinity of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, late on July 2, 1863. On July 3, Hampton led the cavalry attack to the east of Gettysburg, attempting to disrupt the Union rear areas, but colliding with Union cavalry. He received two more saber cuts to the front of his head, but continued fighting until he was wounded again with a piece of shrapnel to the hip. He was carried back to Virginia in the same ambulance as General John Bell Hood. On August 3, 1863, Hampton was promoted to major general and received command of a cavalry division. His wounds from Gettysburg were slow in healing, so he did not actually return to duty until November. During the Overland Campaign of 1864, Stuart was killed at the Battle of Yellow Tavern and Hampton was given command of the Cavalry Corps on August 11, 1864. He distinguished himself in his new role at the bloody Battle of Trevilian Station, defeating Maj. Gen. Philip Sheridan's Cavalry, and in fact, lost no cavalry battles for the remainder of the war. While Lee's Army was bottled up in the Siege of Petersburg, in January 1865, Hampton returned to South Carolina to recruit additional soldiers. He was promoted to lieutenant general on February 14, 1865, but eventually surrendered to the Union along with General Joseph E. Johnston's Army of Tennessee at Bennett Place in Durham, North Carolina. Exceptionally rare view, great contrast, corners of card trifle tipped............................$795.00

However, he died of complications of pneumonia eight days later. His death was a severe setback for the Confederacy, affecting not only its military prospects, but also the morale of its army and of the general public. Jackson in death became an icon of Southern heroism and commitment, joining Lee in the pantheon of the "Lost Cause".

1164 - GENERAL FITZHUGH LEE, Carte de Viste, no imprint, from life bust pose in uniform.

He conducted the cavalry action of Kelly's Ford (March 17, 1863) with skill and success, where his 400 troopers captured 150 men and horses with a loss of only 14 men. In the Battle of Chancellorsville in May 1863, Lee's reconnaissance found that the Union Army's right flank was "in the air", which allowed the successful flanking attack by Maj. Gen. Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson, a movement led by Lee's cavalry. After Chancellorsville, Lee was incapacitated by inflammatory rheumatism, missing a month of action, which included the significant cavalry operations at the Battle of Brandy Station. He recovered in time to lead a brigade in Jeb Stuart's ride around the Union Army in the early days of the Gettysburg Campaign, with his most significant contribution being at the Battle of Carlisle. During the Battle of Gettysburg, his brigade fought unsuccessfully in the action at East Cavalry Field. Stuart's report singled out no officer in his command for praise except Fitz Lee, who he said was "one of the finest cavalry leaders on the continent, and richly [entitled] to promotion."

Lee's Army of Northern Virginia, which he led in the Gettysburg Campaign and the fall campaigns of 1863.

1170 - GENERAL FELIX ZOLLINCOFFER, Carte de Viste by Anthony, 3/4 standing pose in the usual Federal uniform. Killed at the Battle of Mill Springs. The southern bank of the Cumberland River at Mill Springs was a bluff and a strong defensive position, whereas the northern bank was low and flat. Zollicoffer chose to move most of his men to the north bank where they would be closer to nearby Union troops, incorrectly assuming that it was more defensible. Both Crittenden and Albert Sidney Johnston ordered Zollicoffer to relocate south of the river, but he could not comply--he had insufficient boats to cross the un fordable river quickly and was afraid his brigade would be caught by the enemy halfway across. Zollicoffer's men were routed from the field. Some accounts claim that Union Colonel Speed S. Fry shot Zollicoffer as the battle waned. He had inadvertently wandered into the Union position, thinking they were Confederate soldiers with his nearsightedness and the gathering darkness. He was struck several times by enemy bullets and soon died from his wounds. Very fine crisp card.................................................$125.00

A large number of its inmates were sentenced to death. Even thought he inmates were sometimes allowed boxes of medicine and other supplies, the prison guards had a reputation for brutality. The prison's most notorious commandant was Capt. George W. Alexander. As a Confederate soldier fighting in Maryland, Alexander was captured in 1861. While awaiting execution by the Union Army, he escaped and fled to Richmond. Once in Richmond, Alexander took command of the Castle Thunder Prison. Security at the prison was intense under Alexander. Prisoners are said to have complained of Alexander's brutality. Those held in the prison as spies, criminals, or charged with treason were said to have been treated with unnecessary brutality by the guards. The unsavory reputation of the prison obliged the Confederate House of Representatives in 1863 to order and investigation of the commandant, Capt. George W. Alexander, who had been accused of "harshness, inhumanity, tyranny, and dishonesty." Alexander was eventually cleared of the charges, partially by citing the hard-bitten character of the inmates as justification for his behavior.

They were taken prisoner with the surrender of Fort Donelson. After being exchanged, Hanson was presented with a new horse by admiring friends.

Lee's death in 1870, Davis presided over the memorial meeting in Richmond, Virginia. He turned down the opportunity to become the first president of the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas (now Texas A & M University). In 1876, he traveled to England.

The card is crisp and fresh with just a trifle toning. Signed early photos during his post war years are non-existent.

3491 - GENERAL NATHAN B. "SHANKS EVANS", Albumen image of him in a two piece embossed Carte de Viste card, view in Confederate uniform facing to the left, trifle light but distinct, old album ID applied to verso. He was assigned command of an infantry brigade in Brig. General Pierre G. T. Beauregard's Army of the Potomac. In camp and field, Evans had an attachment to strong drink, often keeping an aide nearby with a small keg of whiskey, which Evan referred to as his "barreletta." At the Battle of First Bull Run Evans' small brigade was placed on the Confederate left and was able to hold off the Union's flank attack long enough for reinforcements to arrive. Although his command, was eventually forced to fall back, his delaying tactic allowed the Confederates time to shift additional forces from Manassas to the battlefield, which resulted in a Confederate victory. In October 1861, while his brigade was stationed near Leesburg, Virginia, Evans' forces defeated a Union attempt to cross the Potomac River in a fight called the Battle of Ball's Bluff. The action resulted in his promotion to brigadier general. Evans went on to participate in the 1862 battles of Second Bull Run, South Mountain, and Antietam and in November was transferred to Kinston, North Carolina. After he retreated in the face of a superior Union force, Evans was tried for intoxication and acquitted. Later, when charges of disobedience of orders were made against him, Evans was again acquitted. He was then relieved of command, and although later reinstated, the remainder of his military career was obscure. Throughout 1863 Evans served in various military positions in Mississippi and Georgia and in the spring of 1864 transferred to South Carolina. Card and photo quite nice.......................................................................$395.00 SOLD

2240 - GENERAL ALFRED MOORE SCALES, Cabinet sized albumen [4" X 5.5"] that had been applied to a thick scrapbook page, contemporary pencil ID at bottom, view in Confederate uniform. At Fredericksburg, in December 1862, Scales temporarily took command of the brigade after General Pender fell wounded. Pender turned over the command during a Federal assault. Scales promptly ordered Major C. C. Cole of the 22nd North Carolina to dislodge the enemy, which A. P. Hill reported was "handsomely done." Scales again served with distinction during the Battle of Chancellorsville in May 1863, where he was wounded in the thigh, continuing on the field until loss of blood forced him to leave. In the first day's fight at Gettysburg with Pender's Division, it was the attack of his brigade that helped pave the way for Abner M. Perrin's Brigade to break through the Union line on Seminary Ridge and force the enemy to retreat toward Cemetery Hill. During this attack, Scale's Brigade suffered heavy casualties. He personally fought with great gallantry, and was severely wounded in the leg by a shell fragment on Seminary Ridge. Every field officer of his brigade was killed or wounded save two, and his brigade, already sadly reduced by its terrible sacrifices at Chancellorsville, lost in nearly 550 men out of the 1,350 engaged. On the second day at Gettysburg, the brigade was only engaged in skirmishing, but in the third day's battle, it participated in the famous Pickett's Charge. Half of the General Pender's Division, James Lane's and Scale's Brigades, advanced in the charge with Pickett's and Pettigrew's Divisions. Since Pender had been wounded, his two brigades in the charge were placed under the command of Major General Isaac R. Trimble. Due to Scale's wounding, his brigade was commanded during the charge by Colonel William Lee J. Lowrance. Elements of this brigade were among the Confederates to advance farthest in the gallant but unsuccessful charge. With General Pender at his side, Scales rode back to Virginia in an ambulance, and after being left at Winchester, he recovered enough from his wounds to be returned to service. Unfortunately, General Pender died from his wounds. Quite scarce and priced accordingly due to its mounting...........$200.00 SOLD

2123 - GENERAL THOMAS ROSSER, CSA, Carte de Viste, Thomas Lafayette (Tex) Rosser (October 15, 1836 - March 29, 1910) was a Confederate general during the American Civil War, and later an officer in the Spanish American War and railroad construction engineer. A favorite of J.E.B. Stuart, he was noted for his daring cavalry raids, efficiency in handling combat troops, and tactical brilliance. Rosser was badly wounded at the Battle of Kelly's Ford, where "the gallant" Pelham was killed. Rosser was disabled until the Gettysburg Campaign, where he commanded his regiment in the fighting at Hanover and the East Cavalry Field at Gettysburg. He was promoted to Brigadier General of the "Laurel Brigade," which had gained fame under Turner Ashby. During one of his October - November West Virginia raids near Chancellorsville, Virginia, in November, Rosser seized a Federal wagon train containing much of the ammunition reserve of the I Corps and V Corps of the Army of the Potomac.

He was known to his friends as "Jeb", from the initials of his given names. Stuart was a cavalry commander known for his mastery of reconnaissance and the use of cavalry in support of offensive operations. While he cultivated a cavalier image (red-lined gray cape, yellow sash, hat cocked to the side with a ostrich plume, red flower in his lapel, often sporting cologne), his serious work made him the trusted eyes and ears of Robert E. Lee's army and inspired Southern morale. Killed at Yellow Tavern in May 1864......................................$550.00 SOLD

When President Abraham Lincoln sent Federal troops into Lexington and raised the U.S. flag over the city, Hanson and his 2nd Kentucky Infantry were "orphaned," as they could never return home until Lexington fell to the Confederates (which did not occur). They were taken prisoner with the surrender of Fort Donelson. After being exchanged, Hanson was presented with a new horse by admiring friends. He rejoined the army and was promoted to Brigadier General in December 1862, commanding his old regiment as well as the 4th, 6th, and 19th Kentucky Infantry regiments, the 41st Alabama regiment, and Cobb's Battery in Breckinridge's Division, Hardee's corps. In his first battle as a general, Hanson was severely wounded on January 2, 1863, during a charge at Murfreesboro (Stones River) when he was struck above the knee by the fuse of a spend artillery shell. His brother-in-law vainly tried to stop the bleeding. He died two days later at the age of 35. A very nice card.............................$325.00 SOLD

James West was elected 2nd Lieutenant of "Morgan's Company", the former Lexington Rifles militia unit, when the company was mustered into Confederate service in October 1861. (Basil Duke was elected 1st Lieutenant). When Morgan's Company was combined with two other cavalry companies, the three companies formed a command called "Morgan's Cavalry Squadron". On April 6, Colonel Morgan led his squadron on the first day of the Batlle of Shiloh, routing the enemy in a mounted charge toward Owl Creek. They defeated Colonel John McDowell's 6th Iowa Infantry of General Wm. T. Sherman's 5th Division, but not without losses to Company A. Included in the company's casualty list were 1st Lt. Basil W.

A partial paper label on the verso refers to 'Walker's guns' "used in the defense of the memorable siege....". This refers to Reuben Lindsay Walker.

Walker was promoted to Brigadier General on February 18, 1865. Photo excellent......$250.00   SOLD

5059 - THE THREE CONFEDERATE PRISONS AFTER GETTYSBURG AWAITING MOVEMENT TO A PRISON CAMP, Stereo card. Yellow mounts, published by "Sights and Scenes". Gettysburg stamp on verso. The classic pose of three Confederates taken by Matthew Brady on or about July 15th, 1863 that were probably Louisianans.

Far better than some Richmond backed cards with the same pose. It would be difficult to upgrade this quality image..............................................$675.00 SOLD

11203 - CONFEDERATE PRIEST FROM NEW ORLEANS WHO STOOD UP TO BEAST BUTLER, Carte de Viste by Anderson & Turner of New Orleans. A seated pose of Father James Mullen in vestments holding a prayer book. Father James Mullen was a pro-Confederate Catholic priest in New Orleans in 1862 who was Pastor of St. Patrick's Cathedral, the religious home for many Irish-Catholics in the City. Upon refusing to bury a Union soldier in the church's cemetery, he was confronted by General Benjamin Butler who accused him of doing so because the soldier was a Yankee. Mullen replied to the contrary, "I am willing to bury you all." Mullen died in 1866 and is buried in St. Patrick's Cathedral. Butler had other problems with other clergy also regarding their pro-Confederate views.
