Albumen on board of Confederate General Sterling Price. "Sterling Price (September 20,
1809 – September 29, 1867) was a lawyer, planter, and politician from the U.S. state of
Missouri, who served as the 11th Governor of the state from 1853 to 1857. He also
served as a United States Army brigadier general during the Mexican-American War, and
a Confederate Army major general in the American Civil War. Price is best known for his
victories in New Mexico and Chihuahua during the Mexican conflict, and for his losses at
the Battles of Iuka and Westport during the Civil War–the latter being the culmination of
his ill-fated Missouri Campaign of 1864. Following the war, Price took his remaining
troops to Mexico rather than surrender, unsuccessfully seeking service with the Emperor
Maximillian there. He ultimately returned to Missouri, where he died in poverty and was
buried in St. Louis." Albumen is dated 1865 at the bottom. Rare size of 6 by 9'.

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.

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.
