Interesting Cabinet Card of New Jersey General Theodore Runyon.
Served as head of NJ troops and at the battle of Bull Run. Great pose
with a huge Colt Army pistol stuck in his belt and holding his Chasseur
kepi and sword. Great content. ( Much discussion who printed up these
Gold Rimmed Cabinet Cards. They are of Brady images and I am of the
opinion that these are some of the earliest usages of Cabinet cards
starting in late 1865. Reasoning being, I owned one of Wesley Merritt
once who had autographed the image and dated it in May of 1865.)
