Abstract:

Chiefly cartes de visite portraits of Civil War generals and officers, senators, judges, and members of Lincoln's Cabinet. One portrait of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and one of his daughters (from a drawing?) is present. Most of those pictured are Union officers or officials, but several Confederate figures are represented, including Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee, Fitzhugh Lee, John Hunt Morgan, and Wade Hampton. Stereographs are views of battlefields, and one view of cavalry on parade in New York, July 4th, 1860.
