Incredibly Rare and Important large War Date Albumen of the Commanders
of the Brigade and Division Commanders of the 3rd Division of the 20th
Army Corps. shown are future President of the US, Benjamin Harrison,
William T Ward the Division Commander, Daniel Dustin of Illinois and
William Cogswell of Massachusetts. This photo would be taken sometime
during Sherman's march from Atlanta to the end of the War in North
Carolina during the time that Ward was commander of the Division which
was formed from the combining of the Union XI and XII Corps when they
moved West. This would be one of the original prints of the photos as each
sitter has Boldly Autographed the mat on the bottom. So in effect we have
the Autographed photos of four Union General's and and a future
President of the US in Uniform. Of all the future President's, Harrison is
one of the scarcest to find in Uniform views after most likely McKinley. This
view has been published in a much later Cabinet Card, most likely after
Harrison became President. I would guess that this copy would have
belonged to one of the sitters being an original autographed view, though
there is no way to tie to any of the subject's on the image. Extremely clean
and impossible to find view of this type. Size is 9 X 12 and would look
fantastic if framed. One of those one of kind images that just never come
around.

Interesting combination of an Civilian pose of Union General Robert Schenk
by Mathew Brady in the original album page which Schenk has
autographed on the front. This was from a fascinating collection put
together in the 1860's where he collected the CDV's and then had the
subject's sign the album page. The album has been cut up (not by me)
and now the images and auto's are being offered individually. Signed while
a Congressman from Ohio. CDV is in excellent shape.

A single album page from an important CDV album of Civil War notables
that had each page autographed by the sitter of the CDV in it. Whomever
owned this incredible collection managed to meet in person all the famous
sitters to get them to sign the album page. In this case we have Civil War
General "Black Jack" Logan of Illinois and a Congressman on the back I
believe of the name of Talley. Both images are by Brady and in excellent
shape with no trimming and are very sharp. Both sitters have autographed
the pages below the CDV's. Logan an important Western General and
future Vice Presidential Candidate was one of Grant's favorite Generals.
Hard to come by in this format.

Spectacular and Rare Autographed view of the real "Ellsworth Avenger" Lt
Francis Brownell.
Francis Edwin Brownell (1840–March 15, 1894) was a soldier and recipient
of the Medal of Honor for killing the murderer of Col. Elmer E. Ellsworth,
colonel of the 11th New York Volunteer Infantry Regiment. Brownell's
actions marked the first action in the Civil War to merit the award.
Brownell enlisted as a member of the 11th New York and was assigned to
Company A. In the first days of the war, as the 11th entered Alexandria,
Virginia on May 24, 1861, Ellsworth took him and several other men to
capture while the telegraph office. On the way there, one of Ellsworth's men
spotted a Confederate flag atop the Marshall House inn.[2] Ellsworth's
group entered the inn and quickly cut down the flag, but they encountered
the proprietor, James Jackson, as they descended the stairs. Jackson killed
Ellsworth with a shotgun blast to the chest, and Brownell responded in kind
by fatally shooting the innkeeper.[3]
After the war, Brownell twice was denied his request for the award in
recognition of his actions in killing Jackson. A third attempt with the
assistance of his congressman was granted. Brownell finally was award the
Medal of Honor in 1877, inscribed with his name and regiment. A request to
have his action described on the medal meant it was returned to the War
Department and a second medal was issued. It was inscribed: “The
Congress to Sergt Frank E. Brownell, 11th N.Y. Vol Inf’y for gallantry in
shooting the murderer of Col. Ellsworth at Alexandria, VA, May 24, 1861.”[3]
Following the war, Brownell lived in Washington, D.C. were he worked as a
clerk with the Pension Office. He is buried in Bellefontaine Cemetery, Saint
Louis, Missouri.[4]
This image is boldly signed on the back and has a very Rare Backmark of
"Photographed by J Gurney and Son in Aid of the US Sanitary Commission
New York Metropolitan Fair April 1864". This image would be sold for the
benefit of the Sanitary Fair collecting Money to help wounded US Soldiers
during the War. First I have ever seen of one of these backmarks.
Autographed Brownell's are scarce and generally sell for over $2000.
