A veteran of the Mexican War, General John Hunt Morgan led the Lexington Rifles and joined General Simon Buckner's command when the Civil War started.  From this point until his death three years later his exploits made him one of the legendary figures of the Confederacy.  He was promoted colonel of th 2nd Kentucky Cavalry in April 1862 and brigadier general in December, 1862.  His series of raids into Tennessee, Kentucky, Indian, and Ohio brought him the thanks of the Confederate congress.  On his most famous raid through Ohio in 1863, he was captured.  He escaped and was placed in command of the Department of the Southwestern Virginia.  He bivouacked in Greeneville, Tennessee on the night of September 3, 1864, while in route to attack Federal forces in Knoxville.  He was surprised by Union Cavalry and killed.

 

The image is a bust up image and has some fadding.  The backmark is E.& H.T. Anthony, New York.

General Simon Bolivar Buckner was a Kentucky native who graduated West point in 1844.  He earned two brevet promitins during the war with Mexico and resigned from the U.S. Regular Army in 1855 to pursue his private interests.  At the outbreak of the war he was the adjutant general of the state of Kentucky. He accepted a commision in the Confederate Army in September 1861.  He was left by Generals Floyd and Pillow to consumate the surrender of Fort Donelson.  He was exchanged and led a division in Bragg's invasion of Kentucky and fought at Perryville.  He moved to Mobile, Alabama to fortify it against the Union navy.  He directed a corps at the battle of Chickamauga.  After that he was promoted to Lieutenant General and he moved to the Trans-Mississippi.  He was Kirby Smith's chief of staff.

 

  The image is slightly faded and is attached to the back of the carte.  The back of the image has a line around the edges and has "Buckner" written in pencil.   General Buckner is seated and he is holding his sword.

A nice image of Surgeon Henry Boynton of the 7th New Hampshire Infantry.  Boynton was commisioned in December 1861.  He fought with the 7th New Hampshire until January 24, 1864 when he resigned due to ill health.  The backmark on the image is "Stephen Piper, Photographer Manchester, N.H.".  Written in period pencil on the back is "Dr. Boynton - 1861".

The following is taken from The Union army: a history of military affairs in the loyal states, 1861-65 -- records of the regiments in the Union army -- cyclopedia of battles -- memoirs of commanders and soldiers. Madison, WI: Federal Pub. Co., 1908. volume II.
One Hundred and Eighth Infantry.—Cols., Oliver H. Palmer, Charles J. Powers; Lieut.-Cols., Charles J. Powers, Francis E. Pierce; Majs., George B. Force, Francis E. Pierce, Harmon S. Hogaboom, William H. Andrews. The 108th regiment was recruited and organized at Rochester, where it was mustered into the U. S. service for three years, Aug. 16-18, 1862. It left the state the following day, and served in the defenses of Washington, until Sept. 6, when it was assigned to the 2nd brigade, 3d division (French's), 2nd corps, and engaged in its first battle at Antietam. The new regiment suffered a loss in the battle of 30 killed, 122 wounded and 43 missing. Its next battle was at Fredericksburg, where Gen. Couch commanded the corps, and the regiment again suffered severely, losing 92 in killed, wounded and missing. Its loss at Chancellorsville was 52, Gen. Hancock being in command of the corps and Gen. Alex. Hays the division. At Gettysburg, where the regiment again met with a severe loss on the second and third days, its casualties amounted to 102 killed and wounded. In October it was engaged with some loss at Auburn and Bristoe Station, a 2nd corps affair; was active during the Mine Run campaign at the close of the year, and at the battle of Morton's ford in Feb., 1864. On the reorganization of the Army of the Potomac in March, 1864, the 3d division was consolidated with the 1st and and, the 108th being assigned to the 3d brigade, 2nd division, 2nd corps, with which it crossed the Rapidan and engaged in the Wilderness campaign. It lost 52 at the battle of the Wilderness, 53 at Spottsylvania, suffered constant losses in the subsequent battles leading up to Petersburg, and in the battles at the Weldon railroad, Deep Bottom, Strawberry Plains, Reams' station, Boyd-ton plank road, Hatcher's run, the final assault on Petersburg, and fought its last battle at Farmville, two days before Lee's surrender. It was mustered out under Col. Powers, May 28, 1865, at Bailey's cross-roads, Va., and the men not then entitled to discharge were transferred to the 59th N. Y. Maj. Force was killed at Antietam, and both Col. Palmer and Col. Powers were promot-ted to the rank of brevet brigadier-general for faithful and meritorious services. The regiment lost during service 9 officers and 106 men killed and mortally wounded; 90 men died of disease and other causes, a total of 205. Among the many brilliant achievements of the regiment, it is related that in the fight at Morton's ford the 108th advanced rapidly and without firing a shot to a stone wall occupied by the enemy, when they delivered a volley and with shouts leaped over the wall and were soon in possession of an important position which virtually decided the contest.
