Cyrus Hamlin and Bvt Brigadier General Charles Hamlin. The Civil
War period albumens are roughly 9 X 12in framed in their original
period frames and were kept by the Hamlin family from the war till
earlier this year when the contents of the House were sold at
auction. These photos were the personal images of the Vice
President himself. Cyrus served as an Aide De Camp on the staff of
Fremont, Colonel of the 8th USCT and was made a Brigadier
General in 1864 by Lincoln. He commanded Port Hudson after its
Capture by Bank's army. Staying in New Orleans after the war, he
contracted most likely Yellow Fever and died there in 1867.
Charles, shown hear wearing a rare corps badge, served with the
18th Maine Vols, before transfering to the 1st Maine HA in 1862,
then was transfered to the staff of a General in 1863. Breveted
Brigadier General in 1865. Both photos are in immaculate condition
sealed into their original frames with period backing. Both Generals
are hard to find in mages in general. Provinence from the auction
and their previous ownership will be provided to the Purchaser.
Very rare opportunity to own mementos like these from the
personal collection of a sitting U. S. Vice President, much
less Lincoln's own.
