A neat photograph of the Stones River National Cemetary in Murfreesboro, Tennessee.  The United States Regulars monument is left of center and you can see named and unnamed markers.  The photograph is 4 1/2 inches by 3 3/8 inches.  The card is approximately 5 1/8 inches by 4 3/16 inches.  Written on the back in brown ink is "Stones River National Cemetary - Murfreesboro, Tenn - No. of graves - Known 3817.  Unknown 2330 - 6146 Total.".  A nice early photograph of the cemetary.

An unusual view of Christ Church in Alexandria, Virginia.  The backmark is actually a paper tag affixed to the back of the CDV.  Written on the tag is"J & W.J. Entwisle, Booksellers, 110 King St., Alexandria, VA.".  "Christ Ch. Alex. Va." is written in pencil onthe front of the CDV.

A nice photograph of Vendue Range Street in Civil War Charleston, South Carolina.  A man and a child stand in the street.  The backmark was "Quinby & Co., Artists, Charleston, S.C." but someone scratched the Quinby out but you can still see it.

A nice Civil War period CDV of the Orphan Asylum in Charleston, South Carolina.  The backmark was "Quinby & Co., Artists, Charleston, S.C." but someone scratched the Quinby out but you can still see it.

A great Matthew Brady image of the Grigsby House located in Centreville, Virginia.  This was General Joseph Johnson's headquarters previous to the evacuation of Manassas Junction.  There are quite a few people in this photo.  Two black boys stand by the man in the center and a black woman stands to the right side of the house.  It is very likely these people are slaves.  The photo was taken on 1862.  This image was sold by J.W. Queen & Co., Philadelphia as noted on the back of the card.

A wonderful photograph of General Hunter's headquarters on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. This photograph is attributed to Sam Cooley, photographer. The photo is approximately 3 1/2 by 4 1/2 inches.

A very nice photograph of Blandford Church. I believe this is in from around Petersburg, VA. A man is sitting in the front of the church. The size of the photograph is approximately 4 3/8 inches by 4 1/8 inches. This is an unusual size period Civil War photograph. Written on the front is "Beaufort Church" and is a misidentification. I found this information on the web. · "Old Blandford Church," of which a view is here presented, is a great object of interest to all visitors; the cemetery surrounding it having monuments erected one hundred and fifty years ago. The walls of the main body of the building are of English brick, imported from the mother country. The services of the Episcopal Church were first performed in 1735, and continued to be read until 1825, nearly a century. Since that time, owing to the movement of the inhabitants of Blandford to the present site of Petersburg, the church has not been used, although the cemetery, now much enlarged, still continues to be the general depository of the dead. The ivy-covered walls now stand as a historic monument of what was formerly the aristocratic portion of the city. In the cemetery the stranger is not only shown the almost obliterated slab beneath which rests the remains of General Phillips, who died May, 1781, during the war of independence, but also the monument, erected to the memory of the brave volunteers from the "Cockade City," who left houses and friends in the war of 1812. The greater space, however, has been allotted during the last four years to the graves of "Our Soldiers," these words being cut on a simple wooden cross, to mark the resting place of the Confederate dead. A somewhat eccentric sexton, whose father before him performed the same duties, is generally on the spot to enlighten visitors in regard to the history of the church, and is apparently much pleased to do so from the manner in which he enters upon his oft-repeated narrative. During the siege the edifice and its surroundings suffered but little damage from shot or shell, although the position was in front of the point of attack at the time of the explosion of the mine on the 30th July, 1864."

A really neat CDV of the bridge over Bull Run. Across this little stream that was destined to mark the center of the first, and in many respects the most desperate, battle of the Civil War, we see what was left of the bridge after the day had ended in a Federal route. During the route, the little bridge groaned with the weight of the men struggling to get across it. Finally, in frantic haste, it was destroyed by the Federals to delay the dreaded pursuit. Here Federal engineers are rebuilding the bridge to supply the Union army thirty miles south of Washington. Great CDV!

A neat photo of a Civil War period man on a horse with his dog. A nice outdoor CDV. there is no backmark.

A great CDV of Libbey Prison with military tents outside and civilians with a horse. This photo was taken in 1863 and is one of the few Confederate outdoor photogrphic shots. The CDV has a Chas. H. Schwamb, Annapolis, Md. backmark. On the back is written in ink "Libby Prison - Richmond - For Johney - Keep it clean". A really great CDV with a Maryland backmark.

This cdv is titled "Bastion Opposite Battery No.2 of General McClellan's Works - Brady's Album Gallery, No. 392". You can see the Yorktown entrenchments, a Union soldier, sandbags, and a cannon and limber in the background.
