CDV - Very probable a 99th Illinois Infantry soldier. I purchased at one point in time a 72 piece, 99th Illinois images grouping. About 3/4 of them were id'd with name and regiment in ink, the rest were not but had the same photographer's studios as the id'd. This is one of those un-id'd images that I have left. This is a private seated, wearing a 4 button frock coat with eagle buttons (he resembles Aaron Chamberlain of Co. A a bit). Has a New Orleans Photographer's back mark and a presentation on reverse with no name. The 99th were participants in the battles of: Beaver Creek, MO., Hartville, MO., Magnolia Hills, MS., Port Gibson, MS., Vicksburg, MS. and Spanish Fort, AL. $48. (Postage Included - US Only) ON HOLD

CDV - General Winfield Scott - the lengthy career of "Old Fuss and Feathers", started with the War of 1812 where he was wounded at the Battle of Lundy's Lane near Niagara Falls, He was the Commander-in-Chief of the Army in 1841 and distinguished himself well in the Mexican War in 1847-8. He ran unsuccessfully for President in 1852 as a member of the Whig Party, worked to resolve the Canadian border dispute in 1838, and involved with the Mormon and Cherokee issues. Re would resign from the Army in 1861, passing away in 1866. CDV is an early E. Anthony (New York) from Matthew Brady's glass negative. Very clean carte. $87. (Postage Included - US Only)

CDV - Oversized CDV of a Civil War Bass Drummer. Great image of a Musician, wearing frock coat, holding the drum on edge with be**er in hand, wearing all of the harness gear, pouch with musician's lyre insignia. His kepi has the Infantry hunting horn insignia with what appears to be either the numeral '2' or '8'. The side of the drum looks to have perhaps a state seal painted in a large circular shape. Finding a Civil War snare drummer is great, finding a bass drummer is almost impossible. Across the top, in pencil is 'A Bass Drummer of the 60's' and along the trimmed bottom there are ink remnants of what may have been an ID. No photographer's back mark. This looks more like a mounted albumen by the size of the card & thickness of stock. $665. (Postage Included - US Only)

CDV - 5th Massachusetts Infantry / 1st Massachusetts Heavy Artillery - KIA - Petersburg - Asa H Melvin. A different posed view is seen in the Historical Data System Data Base. Melvin enlisted in April, 1861 into the 5th Mass. as a Private and was mustered out in July, 1861 then mustered into the 1st Massachusetts Heavy Artillery in August, 1862, re-enlisting in December, 1863. he is listed as killed at Petersburg on June 16, 1864 with his body never recovered. The CDV has a photographer's back mark of Yeaw & Co., Lawrence (Massachusetts) and has remnants of a tax stamp on reverse. Also has a very light period pencil inscription on reverse of "C. Root(?)" which may have been reason for a descendant of Root thinking that was his ancestor. May have been more of a presentation. This was originally listed as Charles Root of the 2nd MO. Cav. which had come from a descendant of Root. The Mass. photographer was a mystery to me but thanks to friend Dale Niesen, this correction is made. $158. (Postage Included - US Only) ON HOLD
