SOLD!!! A wonderful CDV of Confederate Cavalry General J.E.B. Stuart. This great Confederate cavalry leader rode rings around the Union cavalry but wasn't at Gettysburg when Lee needed him there. He was wounded at the battle of Yellow Tavern and died the next day in Richmond. Like his intimate friend Stonewall Jackson, Stuart soon became a legendary figure, ranking as one of the great cavalry commanders of America. There is no back mark on this CDV. In the opinion of Stephen Rowe, noted Southern photography expert, this photo was taken by Vanerson & Jones.

SOLD!!! A nice CDV of Colonel John Singleton Mosby. One of the noteable Confederate officers of the Civil War. This CDV has been retouched and has "Gen. Mosby" on the bottom of the carte. There is no back mark..

SOLD!!! A great post card of General B.W. Palmer, Mountain Reminant Brigade, United Confederate Veterans. Written on the front of the card in white is "Gen. B.W. Palmer - Mountain Reminant Brigade - U.C.V. - 25th Reunion at Ballinger, Texas". Palmer is in his UCV uniform and is wearing his Southern Cross of Honor. These UCV photo postcards are getting hard to find.

SOLD!!! A very hard to find full standing CDV of a Civil War union soldier dresses in a zouaves uniform! The back mark is "Bowdoin, Taylor & Co., 204 King.Cor. Columbus Street, Alexandria, VA". Written on the back of the CDV in modern pencil is "114 PA - Collins Zouaves". This image was on the dead board at one time. There is a small amount of damage at the bottom of the CDV.

SOLD!!! A great CDV of Confederate cannons overlooking the Mississippi River at Vicksburg. Outdoor photos of Vicksburg are very hard to find. There are two cannons with stacked ammunition next to the cannons. Look at the grape shot! There is no backmark.

SOLD!!! A really neat CDV of a Civil War naval tin clad war ship. You can see how the steamship was converted to a war ship. There is no backmark. I haven't located the name of this ship yet but when I do.....

SOLD!!! I just picked up an Arkansas group at the Chicago show last weekend. There is one original photograph of Captain/Major John G. McKean, 19th Arkansas Infantry, 13th Battn Cavalry, and somewhere I read he might be involved with the 5th Arkansas in the early war( I haven't been able to verify this.) . Also with the picture is a program type item to his funeral. Inside is a black piece of crepe. A cabinet card type death card is included and two modern photos of McKean. One photo is before the war and the other has him sitting with a black. He is wearing his UCV uniform. Also his obituary in the local paper(original) is included. I have attached photos. Captain McKean lived in De Queen, Arkansas after the war. I have found references to him as Chaplain and Adjutant of the Camp John Morgan, No. 448, U.C.V. The photo of Capt. McKean and the black man is on KODAK paper. The black man's name is Lit Polk who had been a slave owned by the McKean family. In the packet of information I received with the photo, this was included. "Lit and I got aquainted with each other over 60 years ago on the 3rd day of April, 1837. Lit was about 7 years old. I had just entered upon the first stage of human existence. We were pretty intimately associated from this time on, even through the perilous days of the war when I "sought the bubble reputation, even at the cannon's mouth." There is much more information. I have been able to pull two Civil War Historical data records on Captain and later Major McKean. I also found two references to Captain McKean in the "Confederate Veteran" magazine. The younger photo is on photographic paper but it has no watermark. I have seen the earlier photo of Capt. McKean and Lit somewhere before but I have not been able to put my fingers on it. It is not in the "Confederate Veteran" or "Portraits of Conflict - Arkansas".
