General John A. McClernand was a Black Hawk war private who became a Civil War General by appointment by Abraham Lincoln. He was promoted to a Major General position on March 21, 1862. He played a subversive role in the army, seeking to supplant George McClellan in the East and criticizing U.S. Grant's maneuvers in the West. After conducting an expedition which reduced the Post of Arkansas in January, 1863, he commanded the XIII Corps in the operations against Vicksburg. After a disastrous assault on the Confederate works, McClernand furnished the press with a congratulatory order, extolling his men as the heros of the campaign. This was the final straw with Grant and McClernand was sent home to the relief of the other Union commanders. He reappeared as commander of the XIII Corps the following year until his resignation on November, 1864. The image is a waist up photograph of McClernand as a major general. The backmark is E.& H.T. Anthony.

SOLD!!! A great photograph of a Confederate officer seated on Lookout Mountain with two Union officers. Obviouly this officer was captured in the battles around Chattanooga but had enough Union friends to allow him to be photographed on Lookout Mountain. Since most the Confederates were long gone when the photographers showed up, you don't often find an image of a Confederate on Lookout Mountain. The backmark on the image is "S.M. Fassett's New Gallery, 114 & 116 South Clark Street, Chicago.". If you are a Lookout Mountain collector, here is an opportunity that will not present itself again for quite some time. This image came out of a 40 year collection and probably will go back into another 40 year collection!
