Union troops. The trenches all along the lines were found to contain many dead
Confederates, and this view is but one of many that was made by the photographer showing
the dead just as they fell. By looking at a number of these views you can get an idea of
how a long stretch of the trenches looked that day. Of course the camera could not take
but a small section within the scope of each view. You will notice that no two of the dead
fell in the same position. VG. $350

2348. Prof. Lowe observing the battle of Fair Oaks, from his balloon.
Thaddeus S.C. Lowe (1831-1913), American Civil War aeronaut, scientist and inventor. In June 1861 Lowe met with President Lincoln and offered to perform a demonstration with his balloon Enterprise and a telegraph set. The President commanded Gen. Winfield Scott to see to Lowe's formation of a Balloon Corps with himself as Chief Aeronaut. Lowe's first outing was performed at First Bull Run with General Irwin McDowell and the Army of the Potomac. His performance was impressive though he had the misfortune of having to land behind enemy lines. Fortunately, he was found by members of the 31st New York Volunteers before the enemy could discover him, but he had twisted his ankle and was not able to walk out with them. Eventually his wife Leontine, disguised as an old hag came to his rescue with a buckboard and was able to extract him and his equipment safely.
Lowe's services were also used at Sharpsburg and Fredericksburg. Though he had the use of hydrogen gas generators (each balloon camp was assigned two generator units), the inflation time was long and Lowe saved the day by quickly transferring the gas from the "Constitution" into the "Intrepid" by cutting a hole in the bottom of a camp kettle and connecting the balloons at the valve ends. The process took fifteen minutes, a time savings he valued at 'a million dollars a minute.' The Battle of Seven Pines, also known as the Battle of Fair Oaks or Fair Oaks Station, took place from May 31 to June 1, 1862. Spotted stain in sky of left image o/w VG. $400

Sheridan, U.S.A. Philip Henry Sheridan (1831-1888). One of the most famous of
Civil War Generals. Graduated from West Point in 1853, after having been
suspended for one year due to a quarrel with fellow-cadet William R. Terrill. He
ranked in the bottom third of his class. Served on the frontier for 8 years and
advanced in rank from the grade of second lieutenant, 4th Infantry only after
the defection of his superiors to the Confederate cause in 1861. He became chief
quartermaster and commissary of the Army of Southwest Missouri; next he served
as General Henry W. Halleck's headquarters quartermaster during the advance on
Corinth subsequent to Shiloh. On May 25, 1862, he was appointed colonel of the
2nd Michigan Cavalry and from then on his rise was meteoric. He was made a
brigadier general of volunteers on Sept. 13, 1862; fought at Perryville and
Murfreesboro; promoted to major general March 16, 1863. At Chickamauga Sheridan
commanded the 3rd Div. of Alexander Mcd. McCook's XX Corps, losing 1500 of 4000
men. Of course the best is yet to come and I direct the interested reader to

discuss the situation. It has been a disastrous day for the Union troops; the
losses have been heavy, and nothing apparently gained. General Grant is bending
over the bench looking over General Meade's shoulder at a map which is held in
Meade's lap. The Staff Officers are grouped around under the trees; the
orderlies are seen in the background; the ambulances and baggage wagons can also

A Battery of "Flying Artillery." Flying Artillery, as it is sometimes called, is
a battery of light artillery (usually 10-pounder rifle guns), with all hands
mounted. In ordinary light artillery the cannoneers either ride on the
gun-carriage or go afoot. In flying artillery each cannoneer has a horse. This
permits very rapid movements of the battery. Flying artillery usually serves
with cavalry. This is Gibson's battery )"C," 3d U.S.) near Fair Oaks, June,

DC. Photographic Incidents of the War. No. 441. Gen. Caldwell and Staff, at Fair
Oaks, June, 1862. The man standing at the rear left is Nelson Miles (1839-1925).
Miles had an extraordinary career in service to the nation. Here are some of the
particulars:
Miles was born in Westminster, Massachusetts, on his family's farm. He worked in Boston and attended night school, read military history, and mastered military principles and techniques, including battle drills.
Miles played a leading role in nearly all of the Army's campaigns against the tribes of the Great Plains. In 1874-1875, he was a field commander in the force that defeated the Kiowa, Comanche, and the Southern Cheyenne along the Red River. Between 1876 and 1877, he participated in the campaign that scoured the Northern Plains after Lt. Col. George Armstrong Custer's defeat at the Battle of Little Big Horn, forcing the Lakota and their allies onto reservations. In the winter of 1877, he drove his troops on a forced march across Montana and intercepted the Nez Perce band led by Chief Joseph that had defeated or eluded every unit sent against it over a 1,500 mile stretch from Oregon to the Canadian border. For the rest of Miles' career, he would quarrel with General Oliver O. Howard over the credit for Joseph's capture.
In 1886, he replaced General George Crook as Army Commander against Geronimo in Arizona. Crook relied heavily on Apache scouts in his efforts to capture the Chiricahua leader. Instead, Miles relied on white troops, who eventually traveled 3,000 miles tracking Geronimo through the tortuous Sierra Madre Mountains without success. Finally, First Lieutenant Charles B. Gatewood, who had studied Apache ways, succeeded in negotiating a surrender, under the terms of which Geronimo and his followers were exiled to confinement on a Florida reservation along with all other Chiricahuas who had worked for the army, in violation of Miles' agreement with them. Miles denied Gatewood any credit for the negotiations and had him transferred to the Dakota Territory.
In 1890, the last uprising of the Sioux, known as the Ghost Dance, on the Lakota reservations brought Miles back into the field once more. His efforts to subdue them once more led to Sitting Bull's death and the massacre of 200 Sioux, which included women and children at Wounded Knee on December 29, 1890. Miles reacted to these fights by asserting U.S. authority over the Indians, believing that all Lakota should be placed under military control.
Under the law at that time, only one person at a time was authorized to wear and hold the rank of lieutenant general, which was then the highest rank an officer could hold. President Theodore Roosevelt, anxious to rid himself of Miles (they detested one another), swore in General Samuel B. Young as the first Army Chief of Staff on the very last day of Miles' tenure of office. For approximately a period of an hour, the United States had (illegally) two men as lieutenant generals serving on active duty. This was remedied when Miles was notified of his retirement by way of bicycle messenger and escorted out of his office to make way for the new Army Chief of Staff.
Miles served as a commander in the Civil War, the Indian Wars, and the Spanish-American War. In his late 70s, he volunteered to serve in the army during World War I as well, but was turned down by President Woodrow Wilson due to his age at that time. Perhaps fittingly, Wilson also turned down the request of one of Miles' biggest critics—Teddy Roosevelt—to serve in the European conflict.
Miles died May 15, 1925 at age 85 from a heart attack while taking his grandchildren to the circus in Washington, DC. He was buried at Arlington National Cemetery in the Miles Mausoleum. It is one of only two mausoleums located within the confines of the cemetery.

Hon. Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States. This is Ostendorf-49
(O-49). "Exhausted by a train journey during which he had traveled nearly two
thousand miles and visited seven states, Lincoln went to Brady's Washington
studio, probably on Sunday, February 24, 1861, and sat (opposite), absorbed in
problems, while Alexander Gardner took five poses...Apparently concerned about
the time the photographer was taking to prepare the lighting and plates, the
harried President-elect has just looked at the watch which he holds, case still
open, in his right hand."
(Hamilton
and Ostendorf, Lincoln in Photographs, An Album of Every Known Pose. Norman:
University of Oklahoma Press, 1963,
pps. 77-79). Ostendorf reports that "At this first Washington sitting,
Gardner also used a two-lens, or stereoscopic, camera" (p. 79). Yet later,
page 124, he says "Only about six stereographs of Lincoln were published
during his lifetime. They bear a publication date not later than 1865. With the
exception of the outdoor views of Lincoln at Antietam, which were taken with a
standard stereoscopic or two-lens camera, all of the contemporary published
stereographs of the President were made by combining two of the images
simultaneously recorded by a three- or four-lens camera." This
view is sometimes numbered 2968 and sometimes 2969. As Ostendorf says "In
1864 and 1865 the E&HT Anthony Company published four different pairs of
President Lincoln on the "Portrait Gallery" stereograph cards (O-49, O-84,
O-103, and O-104). Their identification number, either "2968" or "2969," was
given to all four views." (Hamilton and Ostendorf, Lincoln in Photographs, An

O-103, and O-104). Their identification number, either "2968" or "2969," was
given to all four views." (Hamilton and Ostendorf, Lincoln in Photographs, An

124.)
Cowan's Auction sold this same view on Dec. 2, 2011 for $5581.25 with the
following description: "A
rare stereoview of Abraham Lincoln, known as Lincoln with a crew cut,
long attributed to Mathew Brady, but actually taken by Lewis Emory Walker, a
government photographer, about February 1865, and published for him by E. & H.T.
Anthony (O-104A and B). On E.&H.T. Anthony's American & Foreign Portrait
Gallery mount with 1865 copyright in the lower margin, titled on the verso
label No. 2968 Hon. Abraham Lincoln, President of United States. This
stereoview is one of only three known to exist." Well that statement is
certainly not true as here is one for sale and I have had it before. Beware of

CW946. Taylor & Huntington, Hartford, Conn. 619. A
Cavalry Orderly. One morning in October, 1862, our photographer was approached
by a cavalry orderly with the request: "Can you make a picture of my horse this
morning?" The photographer accommodated the soldier, and this is the view of one
of those very useful soldiers, the Cavalry Orderly or bearer of dispatches. VG.
$300
CW947. The War Photograph & Exhibition Company, Hartford,
Conn. 2351. Field Telegraph Station. It was often necessary to establish a
telegraph service between different points in our lines very hurriedly. This
view shows one of the characteristic field telegraph stations. An old piece of
canvas stretched over some rails forms the telegrapher's office, and a hard-tack
box is his telegraph table; but from such a rude station messages were often
sent which involved the lives of hundreds and thousands of soldiers. VG. $300
CW948. Taylor & Huntington, Hartford, Conn. 274. The
Horrors of War. A Union soldier killed by a shell at Gettysburg, July 3, 1863.
His arm was torn off, and can be seen on the ground near his musket, and
entirely separated from his body. The shell also completely disemboweled the
poor fellow and killed him so quick that he never knew what struck him. Think of
a battlefield covering nearly twenty-five square miles, and covered with
thousands of dead, many of them mangled even worse that this one and you can
have a faint idea of Gettysburg in the early days of July, 1863. Some
discoloration toward center of card as shown. G. $275
CW949. Taylor & Huntington, Hartford, Conn. 914.
Unburied Dead on Battlefield. This photograph was made several months after the
battle, on the field of Gaines' Mills, Va. At the time of the fight our troops
were obliged to abandon the field and leave the dead unburied. The skulls and
skeleton remains of some of our unknown heroes are here seen on the spot where
they gave up their lives for our country. In the background can be seen the
earthworks where, probably, was stationed the battery these soldiers were trying
to capture when they were killed. VG. $325
