A very nice cabinet card of a post war view of General Charles William Field, CSA. Field graduated West Point in 1849 and served in the prewar army. He resigned in May 1861 and was assigned to Colonel, 6th Virginia Cavalry. He was commisioned brigadier general on March 9, 1862. He led his infantry brigade in the Seven Days battles, Cedar Mountain, and 2nd Manassas, where he received a desperate wound. He was promoted major general February 12, 1864 and was assigned to General Hood's old division of the 1st Corps. He led with marked distinction through the remaining campaigns of the Army of Northern Virginia, and was finally paroled at Appomattox. He went to Egypt after the war and fought for the Khedive. When he came home he was doorkeeper of the national House of Representatives, a civil engineer in government employ, and was superintendent of the Hot Springs, Arkansas reservation.
The cabinet card is signed by Fields. He signed it "Charles W. Field - Maj. Gen. Longstreet Corps - Army N Va". At some point this photograph was glued into a book as can be seem by the missing paper on the back of the card.

SOLD!!! A wonderful CDV of Fort Jefferson, Florida from the water. Written on the top of the CDV is "Fort Jefferson Florida". Writeen on the back of the image is"The 110th Regt stationed in this Fort more than two years. After Lincoln was assassinated the conspirators were sent there, they were released after the war.". The fort was started in the 1840's and is today the least visited national park! It was one of if not the largest masonary forts built to protect the U.S. from naval invasion.
The fort remained in Federal hands throughout the Civil War. With the end of hostilities in 1865, the fort's population declined to 1,013, consisting of 486 soldiers or civilians and 527 prisoners. The great majority of prisoners at Fort Jefferson were Army privates whose most common transgression was desertion while most civilian prisoners transgressed by robbery. However, in July 1865 four special civilian prisoners arrived. These were Dr. Samuel Mudd, Edmund Spangler, Samuel Arnold, and Michael O'Laughlen, who had been convicted of conspiracy in the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln. Construction of Fort Jefferson was still under way when Dr. Mudd and his fellow prisoners arrived, and continued throughout the time they were imprisoned there and for several years thereafter, but was never completely finished. Mudd provided much-praised medical care during a yellow fever epidemic at the fort in 1867, and was eventually pardoned by President Andrew Johnson and released. By 1888, the military usefulness of Fort Jefferson had waned, and the cost of maintaining the fort due to the effects of frequent hurricanes and the corrosive and debilitating tropical climate could no longer be justified. In 1888, the Army turned the fort over to the Marine Hospital Service to be operated as a quarantine station.
