SOLD!!!

A nice cabinet card photograph of Joseph Torbett at the 1897 United Confederate Veterans National reunion held in Nashville, Tennessee.  Torbett served in the Huwald Tennessee Light Artillery Battery.  After doing early war service in East Tennessee, Huwald's Light Artillery served with Forrest and then Wheller's cavalry for the rest of the war. 

 

There are five badge and ribbons on Torbett's suit coat.  The ribbon in the center says "DELEGATE U.C.V.".  A 1897 UCV National ribbon is to the  right of the center ribbon.  A UCV Lapel pin is to the right of the 1897 National ribbon.  On the left of the center ribbon is a three piece badge with a hanger, ribbon, and drop.  Unfortunately I can't make out what badge it is but it is likely the drop has John B. Gordon's likeness on it.  The final pin back to the far left of center has Robert E. Lee's likeness on it.  I have enhanced the photo for you to more clearly see the badges.

 

The photographer was Taylor & Wrye, Broad and Vine Streets, Nashville, Tennessee as stamped on the card.

 

Please note the second and third photos are computer enhanced photographs.  THe card looks like the first photograph.
