SOLD! SOLD! SOLD! This is one of the "Holy Grail" of Confederate Veteran badges. This wonderful badge was worn by members of the Association of Confederate Veterans, Tennessee Division. This Confederate veteran organization was established several years before the United Confederate Veterans organization. The badge is approximately 2 3/16 inches by 7 1/4 inches. The hanger has the seal of the State of Tennessee on it and a fantastic Confederate First national flag ribbon is attached. The drop has a Confederate battle flag in the center with "A C S T D" which stands for Associated Confederate Veterans, Tennessee Division. Also written around the flag is "Historical - Social - Benevolent". There are crossed sabers, a drum, and cannon barrels on the badge. The ribbon on this badge is fantastic! In November 1885,
members of Cheatham Bivouac (W. D. Gale, R. H. Dudley, Charles D.
Elliott, the Reverend J. H. McNeilly, William H. Jackson, and Frank
Porterfield) played a conspicuous role in revamping a statewide
veterans' organization known as the Tennessee Confederate Memorial and
Historical Association. The men expanded the original goal of funding a
commemorative
monument to Confederate valor and included plans to
care for Confederate graves and bring living veterans into closer
fraternal relations through benevolent programs for ill comrades,
indigent widows, and destitute orphans. They also hoped to encourage the
preparation of historical accounts of the war that would honor and
vindicate the Confederate cause. To meet these goals, they formed the Association
of Confederate Soldiers, Tennessee, which became the first chartered
organization of its kind in the South. The association met in annual
state reunions that rotated between host cities in each of the three
Grand Divisions.

SOLD! SOLD!! SOLD!! Offered is a great badge worn by the cavalry unit that fired the first shot at the battle of Gettysburg. The 8th Cavalry was the only Illinois cavalry unit to serve on the Eastern theater. The 8th Illinois Cavalry Regiment was a cavalry regiment that served in the Union Army during the American Civil War. The regiment served the duration of the war, and was the only Illinois cavalry regiment to serve the entire war in the Army of the Potomac. They also aided in the hunt for John Wilkes Booth and served as President Lincoln's honor guard while he lay in state under the rotunda. Lincoln gave them the nickname of "Farnsworth's Abolitionist Regiment" when he watched them march past the White House. Battle of Gettysburg[edit]During the Gettysburg Campaign, the 8th Illinois Cavalry was in the division of Brig. Gen. John Buford. They deployed west of Gettysburg on June 30, 1863, under the command of Colonel William Gamble, and waited for oncoming Confederates that arrived early the following morning. The first shot of the subsequent battle was fired by Lieutenant Marcellus E. Jones of Company E, who borrowed a carbine from Sergeant Levi Shafer and fired at an unidentified officer on a gray horse over a half-mile away. The 8th, along with the rest of the brigade, performed a fighting withdrawal towards McPherson's Ridge, delaying the Confederate division of Henry Heth for several hours and allowing the Union I Corps to arrive.[1][2] Two decades after the war ended, veterans of the regiment dedicated a monument to the 8th Illinois along the crest of McPherson's Ridge.[3] Lt. Jones would also erect a monument in recognition of the first shot he fired on the location of the shot next to the Whistler's home just east of Marsh Creek on the Chambersburg Pike. The stone was quarried from Naperville limestone; Naperville was the hometown of Levi Shafer, whose carbine Jones borrowed.
