- THE IRONCLAD ESSEX, Carte de Viste with no imprint but
research shows that McPerson & Oliver of Baton Rouge originally
took this photo. This is the published photo of the Essex lying off
Baton Rouge taken May-July 1862 after successfully running the
batteries at Vicksburg under the command of Captain William D. Porter.
The Essex supported General Williams' troops when the Confederates
attacked from the East on August 5th, 1862. This is a great first
generation print of the Essex. On 11 January 1862, USS Essex
engaged Confederate States Navy gunboats near Lucas Bend, Missouri. On
6 February 1862, she took part in the attack on Fort Henry, Tennessee
and was badly damaged by Confederate gunfire. Commanding officer
William D. Porter upgraded his ship without official authorization
into an ironclad gunboat. Under his orders, she was lengthened,
widened, and completely reengineered, and her appearance was changed
drastically. New, more powerful engines were put in place and she was
re-armored. After her upgrade, Essex took part in operations
near Vicksburg, Mississippi. On 15 July 1862, USS Essex was
engaged with CSS Arkansas as that ship successfully ran past
the Union fleets in front of the city. On 23 July, Essex
unsuccessfully attacks the Arkansas at her moorings but was
repelled by the Arkansas and the shore guns under whose
protection the Arkansas lay. Federal forces withdrew from
Vicksburg shortly thereafter. After withdrawing, Essex joined
Admiral David Farragut's squadron and was the only Federal ironclad on
the lower Mississippi River. On 5 August 1862, Essex helped
repel a Confederate Army attack on Baton Rouge, Louisiana. In October
of 1862, the Essex was transferred from the Army to the United
States Navy. She was involved in the bombardment of Port Hudson,
Louisiana and assisted during the occupation of Baton Rouge. In
May-July of 1863 under the command of Robert Townsend, she
participated in the siege and capture of Port Hudson. USS Essex
took part in the Red River Campaign of March-May of
1864.................................................................$495.00

- ADMIRAL CHARLES H. DAVIS, Carte de Viste by Anthony/Brady,
seated pose in uniform. In 1861, he was promoted to Captain. In the
American Civil War, he was made Acting Flag Officer, in command of the
Western Gunboat Flotilla. A day after he took command, the Flotilla
fought a short battle with Confederate ships on the Mississippi River
at Plum Point Bend on May 10, 1862. Caught unready for battle, two of
the Union ships were badly damaged and had to be run into shoal water
to keep from sinking. The Confederate vessels escaped with only minor
damage. On June 6, his ships fought in the Battle of Memphis, which
resulted in the sinking or capture of seven of the eight Confederate
ships, compared with damage to only one of the Union vessels. In July,
he cooperated with Flag Officer David G. Farragut in an attack on
Vicksburg, Mississippi, but they were forced to withdraw. In August,
he proceeded up the Yazoo River and successfully seized Confederate
supplies. Very fine............................$155.00

distinction, organizing and leading the gunboat Flotilla in the
capture of Forts Henry, Donelson, and Island No. 10. He received the
thanks of Congress for his actions at these three battles. Foote was
wounded in action at Fort Donelson. Later in 1862, Foote was promoted
to Rear Admiral. [3] In 1863, on his way to take command of the South
Atlantic Blockading Squadron, he suddenly died. His untimely death in

Confederate envoys enroute to England. His actions were clearly a
violation of international law, and the "Trent Affair"
aroused British indignation, but Wilkes was generally applauded in the
North. He later commanded the James River Flotilla, the Potomac
Flotilla, and the West Indian Squadron before being recalled in 1863
and court-martialed in April 1864 for insubordination and disobedience
of orders. He was convicted and sentenced to a public reprimand and

CONFEDERATE PRISON, Carte de Viste by Purvisance of
Pittsburgh, PA showing the Rev. J.J. Greer and Lt. A.P. Collins as
they appeared in rebel clothing and in chains at Jackson, GA after
escaping from Andersonville Prison in Georgia. In May, 1861, Greer
enlisted as chaplain in the 48th O. Vol. Inf. At the battle of Shiloh,
he was captured by the Confederates and with his unfortunate comrades
was afterward incarcerated in Andersonville Prison. In some way he
managed to escape, but was pursued by the bloodhounds kept by Capt.
Werz for that purpose and was recaptured and again made to suffer
within that terrible Stockade. When he was finally exchanged there was
little hope entertained by his friends that he would recover his
health, but his constitution at that time was strong and in 1863 he
was determined to again face that dangers and hardships that so many
of his fellow men were bravely enduring. Although he had enlisted as
chaplain, it was his own wish that he be given an active place in the
command and the company elected him captain and later became adjutant
general on the staff of General Buckland. He enlisted a second time as
a member of the 183rd O. Vol. Inf. and at the close of the war was
made chaplain and superintendent of the Geer Hospital at Wilmington,
NC. and was honorably discharged in 1865. He was the author of a
stirring story of those memorable days, relating his personal
experiences, the title of it being "Beyond the Lines"
or "Yankee Prisoner Loose in Dixie." The CDV shows

- SIGNED CARTE DE VISTE BY THE "HERO OF GETTYSBURG,"
JOHN BURNS, Carte de Viste by Willards of Philadelphia. During
Confederate, Maj. Gen. Jubal A. Early's brief occupation of Gettysburg
on June 26, 1863. Burns was jailed for his adamant assertion of civil
authority in resisting Early. As the Confederates departed, Burns was
released from jail and arrested some of the Confederate stragglers,
continuing his opposition to the invading army until he was relieved
by Federal Cavalry under Brig. Gen. John Buford. On the first day of
the Battle of Gettysburg, July 1, 1863, Burns took up his flintlock
musket and powder horn and walked out to the scene of the fighting
that morning. He encountered a wounded Union soldier and asked if he
could use his more modern rifle. The soldier agreed and Burns moved on
with the rifle and with cartridges in his pocket. Approaching Major
Thomas Chamberlain of the 150th Pennsylvania Infantry, Burns requested
that he be allowed to fall in with the regiment. Chamberlain later
wrote of Burns moving with deliberate step, carrying his Enfield rifle
at a trail. His somewhat peculiar dress "consisted of dark
trousers and a waistcoat, a blue 'swallow tail' coat with burnished
brass buttons, such as used to be affected by well-to-do gentlemen of
the old school about 40 years ago, and a high black silk hat, from
which most of the original gloss had long departed, of a shape to be
found only in the fashion plates of the remote past." Despite his
skepticism about the request, Chamberlain referred him to the
regimental commander, Colonel Langhorne Wister, who sent the aged
Burns into the woods next to the McPherson Farm, where he would
find better shelter from the sun and enemy bullets. In McPherson (Herbst)
Woods, Burns fought with the 7th Wisconsin Infantry and then moved to
join the 24th Michigan near the eastern end of the woods. He fought
beside these men of the famous Iron Brigade throughout the afternoon,
serving effectively as a sharpshooter, in one case shooting a charging
Confederate officer from his horse. As the Union line began to give
way and they fell back to the Seminary, Burns received wounds in the
arm, the leg, and several minor ones in the breast, the Union soldiers
were forced to leave him behind on the field. Injured and exhausted,
the old man was able to crawl away from his rifle and to hastily bury
his ammunition. He convinced the Confederates that he was a
noncombatant, wandering the battlefield seeking aid for his invalid
wife, and his wounds were dressed by their surgeons. This was a narrow
escape for Burns, for by the rules of war, he was subject to summary
execution as a non-uniformed combatant, or bushwhacker. He was able to
crawl that evening to the cellar of the nearest house, and was later
conveyed to his own home, where he was treated by Dr. Charles Homer. A
nice seated pose of Burns from life, his signature on the verso,
"John Burns Gettysburg"..........................................$650.00
