CDV of Lt Morris Greenwall of Louisiana. First served in the 1st Battalion Zouaves of
Louisiana before transferring to the 10th Louisiana Infantry. The Civil War database
does not have much history on him but he must have been captured at some point as
this photo was taken by Mathew Brady and published by Anthony during the War.
Neat full standing view. The 10th served in Robert E Lee's Army of Northern VA and
was the prime Confederate Army in the field. View is a published view.

"James Lawson Kemper (June 11, 1823 – April 7, 1895) was a lawyer, a Confederate general in
the American Civil War, and a governor of Virginia. He was the youngest of the brigade
commanders, and the only non-professional military officer, in the division that led Pickett's Charge,
in which he was wounded and captured but rescued. After the start of the Civil War, Kemper served
as a brigadier general in the Provisional Army of Virginia, and then a colonel in the Confederate
States Army, commanding the 7th Virginia Infantry starting in May 1862. His regiment was assigned
to Brig. Gen. A.P. Hill's brigade in Maj. Gen. James Longstreet's division of the Confederate Army of
the Potomac from June 1861 to March 1862. He saw his first action at the First Battle of Bull Run.
After a gallant performance at the Battle of Seven Pines during the Peninsula Campaign, Kemper
was promoted to brigadier general on June 3, 1862, and briefly commanded a division in
Longstreet's Corps. Upon the return to duty of wounded Maj. Gen. George E. Pickett, Kemper
reverted to brigade command, the highest role in which he would serve in combat. At the Second
Battle of Bull Run, Kemper's brigade took part in Longstreet's surprise attack against the Union left
flank, almost destroying Maj. Gen. John Pope's Army of Virginia. At the Battle of Antietam he was
south of the town of Sharpsburg, defending against Maj. Gen. Ambrose E. Burnside's assault in the
afternoon of September 17, 1862. He withdrew his brigade in the face of the Union advance,
exposing the Confederate right flank, and the line was saved only by the hasty arrival of A.P. Hill's
division from Harpers Ferry. At the Battle of Fredericksburg, Kemper's brigade was held in reserve.
In 1863, the brigade was assigned to Pickett's Division in Longstreet's Corps, which meant that he
was absent from the Battle of Chancellorsville, while the corps was assigned to Suffolk, Virginia.
However, the corps returned to the army in time for the Gettysburg Campaign. At the Battle of
Gettysburg, Kemper arrived with Pickett's Division late on the second day of battle, July 2, 1863. His
brigade was one of the main assault units in Pickett's Charge, advancing on the right flank of
Pickett's line. After crossing the Emmitsburg Road, his brigade was hit by flanking fire from two
Vermont regiments, driving it to the left and disrupting the cohesion of the assault. Kemper rose on
his stirrups to urge his men forward, shouting "There are the guns, boys, go for them!" This
bravado made him a more visible target and he was wounded by a bullet in the abdomen and thigh
and captured by Union troops. He was rescued by Sgt. Leigh Blanton of the 1st Virginia[1] and was
carried back to Confederate lines on Seminary Ridge. General Robert E. Lee encountered Kemper
being carried on a stretcher and inquired about the seriousness of his wound, which Kemper said
he thought was mortal. He requested that Lee "do full justice to this division for its work today."[2]
During the Confederate Army's retreat from Gettysburg, Kemper was again captured by Union
forces. He was exchanged (for Charles K. Graham) on September 19, 1863."
Vannerson and Jones backmark of Richmond Va. Very hard to find Confederate
General and survivor of Pickett's Charge.

Rare Confederate General Roswell Ripley of South Carolina. "Roswell Sabine Ripley
(March 14, 1823 – March 26, 1887) was an officer in the United States Army during
the Mexican-American War and, despite being Northern-born, a brigadier general in
the Confederate States Army during the Civil War. He was also an author and a
prosperous South Carolina businessman. After South Carolina seceded from the
Union, Ripley became a lieutenant colonel in the Army of South Carolina. He and his
men helped garrison Fort Moultrie. He helped direct the fire from a battery during the
bombardment of Fort Sumter in Charleston Harbor on April 13, 1861. On August 15,
1861, he was appointed as a brigadier general in the Confederate Army and
assigned command of the Department of South Carolina and its coastal defenses.
From December 1861 until May 1862, he had charge of the Second Military District of
South South Carolina. Transferred to field command in Virginia, Ripley commanded
an infantry brigade (comprising two Georgia and two North Carolina regiments) in the
defenses of Richmond, Virginia, in June 1862. Assigned to the Army of Northern
Virginia, Ripley's Brigade participated in the battles of Mechanicsville, Gaines Mill, and
Malvern Hill during the Peninsula Campaign. Despite being depleted from recent
fighting and illness, Ripley's Brigade fought in the Maryland Campaign at the Battle of
South Mountain and the Battle of Sharpsburg in September 1862. He suffered a
severe wound in the neck at Sharpsburg, but soon recovered and rejoined the army.
In November, he was involved in the defense of Fredericksburg. Criticized for his
performance at Antietam, General Ripley in early 1863 returned to South Carolina
and took charge of the First Military District. His men constructed a series of improved
defenses around Charleston, and Ripley commanded the troops that repelled a Union
Navy attack on April 7, 1863. He continued in command of Charleston's fortifications
until the city was evacuated in late 1864 and fought under Joseph E. Johnston at
Bentonville." No imprint but original photo known to be taken by Cook of Charleston.
Extremely hard to find.

Alfred Holt Colquitt (April 20, 1824 – March 26, 1894) was a lawyer, preacher, soldier, Governor of
Georgia and two term U.S. Senator from Georgia where he died in office. He served as an officer in
the Confederate army, reaching the rank of major general.At the beginning of the Civil War, he was
appointed captain in the Sixth Georgia Infantry. He saw action in the Peninsula Campaign and the
Seven Days' Battles. He rose through the ranks to become a brigadier general in 1862. He led his
brigade under Stonewall Jackson in the Battle of South Mountain, Battle of Antietam, the Battle of
Fredericksburg, and the Battle of Chancellorsville. After Chancellorsville, some questions arose
about Colquitt's performance during that battle and his brigade was transferred to North Carolina in
exchange for another. His brigade was transferred again in the summer of 1863 to protect
Charleston, South Carolina. In February 1864, Colquitt marched his brigade south to help defend
against the Union invasion of Florida, and was victorious in the Battle of Olustee. After this battle,
Colquitt's brigade rejoined Robert E. Lee's Army of Virginia. Late in the war, the brigade returned to
defend North Carolina where Colquitt surrendered in 1865. CDV by Anthony.
