5055 - LT. JAMES S. WEST, MORGAN'S STAFF, 2ND KENTUCKY CAVALRY, Carte de Viste by Anthony, Lt. West posing with his unsheathed sword and pistol. This image is shown in Confederate Faces figure 411 and was listed in Anthony's 1862 catalogue under "Officers of the CS Army", as ": Lt. James S. West" of Morgan's Staff. Lt. 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. Duke, who was severely wounded, and 2nd Lt. James West, Pvt. Sam Buckner, Pvt. James Chiselin, and Pvt. Archie Moody, who were all killed in action. Albumen has great tone quality, card trimmed, otherwise excellent photo.....................................$975.00 SOLD

50315 - BEAUTIFULLY SIGNED JEFFERSON DAVIS CARTE DE VISTE BY BINGHAM OF MEMPHIS, Carte de Viste by Bingham & Craver of Memphis, TN. A post war pose of Davis taken approximately 1869. In 1869, Davis became President of the Carolina Life Insurance Company in Memphis, Tennessee, where he resided at the Peabody Hotel. Upon Robert E. 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. This rare image is one of the very few known during that period just after the War. Seemingly only the 1861 view of Davis just before he became Confederate President and the very late Beauvior period photos seem to show up for sale. This was taken by Bingham & Carver of Memphis. Bingham had taken many photos of Confederate personages during the War including the wounded pose of N.B. Forrest. The signature of Davis is a full "Jefferson Davis" in dark brown ink. The card is crisp and fresh with just a trifle toning. Signed early photos during his post war years are non-existent. In comparing with post war signed Lee's which sell for $4000 in comparable condition, the Davis CDV is 20X scarcer to locate than a Lee in the same time frame............................................$3,500.00

5057 - CONFEDERATE ARTILLERY DESTROYED NEAR PETERSBURG, Carte de Viste. A view of three Confederate cannons, two laying on the ground, another still on the carriage taken after capture near Petersburg. 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 became the Chief of Artillery to General A.P. Hill. Lindsay Walker, as he was known, amassed a lengthy combat record, serving in every one of the Army of Northern Virginia's major battles except the Seven Days Campaign (he was ill at the time). He commanded artillery of Hill's Light Division during the Battle of Harpers Ferry and the Battle of Antietam in the Maryland Campaign. When A.P. Hill was promoted to Corps Command, Walker became the Head of the Third Corps Artillery. He commanded the corps' reserve artillery in the Battle of Gettysburg, directly commanding the battalions of Maj. David G. McIntosh and Maj. William J. Pegram. He had direct command of all the corps' artillery battalions thereafter, including in the Overland Campaign and the Siege of Petersburg. In all, Walker served in 63 battles and engagements and was never once wounded, despite being a large target at 6'4" tall and despite often serving in very hot fighting. Walker was promoted to Brigadier General on February 18, 1865. Photo excellent...........................................$250.00

5058 - THE DEAD AT SPOTSYLVANIA, Stereo card. Confederate dead laid for burial near Mrs. Alsop's House, May 20th, 1864 by O'Sullivan.

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. Some feel that these were probably stragglers captured after the battle due to the date of taking and the premise that Confederate prisoners captured during the battle (July 1-3) were marched off the field after capture. Nice contrast and one of the most popular views of Confederate POW's taken in the War. Very fine...............................$495.00 SOLD


3091 - COLONEL WILLIAM R. MACGAVOCK, 10TH TENNESSEE, Carte de Viste. Standing pose of Colonel Mac Gavock of the 10th Tennessee who was killed at the Battle of Raymond, MS, May 12th, 1863.
