Thanks Frank! My two g g grandfathers were in the 12th NJ Vols and the 213th Pa Vols….their brothers were in the 1st NJ Cav (George Stewart was an MOH winner for capturing a flag at Payne’s Crossroads) and the others were in the 6th Pa Cav, and the 17th Pa Cav. It’s been fun learning about them from the records, old family photos and family stories of course.

How about you? Any ancestors in the Civil War?

Hey Paul, My ancestors didn’t arrive in the US until the early 1900’s. No family ACW history but my Father was a tanker in the 8th Armored Division and fought in the ETO during WWII. That greatly inspired my interest in WWII which lead me into the ACW and Revolutionary War.

Thanks for asking!

That is really cool. I would have loved to have spoken with your dad. I forget the route of the 8th but will have to look it up later. My great uncles both served in WW2 and the one I was very close with growing up and he encouraged my history passion as well.

Old photos of a CDV collection I had, Troopers of the 6th Iowa Cavalry at Fort Randall during the Northwest Indian Expedition.  Photos taken at Fort Randall, Sioux City, Davenport, etc.  General Alfred Sully commanding.  Engagements at Whitestone Hill, Fort Rice, Fisk Wagon Train (where Sitting Bull was wounded in the hip), Killdeer Mountain (the largest US Army engagement vs. the Native Americans - Crazy Horse et. al.), The Badlands, etc.  My Gr Gr Grandfather was the Hospital Steward of the 6th Iowa Cavalry & Collector for the Smithsonian Institution on the expedition.  He served throughout the campaigns from 1862-1865.

Some really interesting pieces from a unit I didn’t know.

Unique uniform on this guy.  He wears what appears to be a Mexican War jacket.  Considering his age, he is likely a veteran of that war.  The image is a circa 1861 ambrotype of an early Civil War volunteer, most likely from the South.

Just purchased this damaged but still nice Confederate a few weeks ago. He came from a family estate in Harrisonburg, Va. I wish I had an Id. One collector thinks he has a style of shell jacket sometimes seen on Alabamians. Interesting to contemplate.

I particularly like the first seated image of the young Yankee with his head uncovered. Just a typical young soldier. Wonder what happened to him?

Thanks, and me too. My favorites are 3 and 4. Notice prewar small size US belt plate in 4. I like images with private purchase sack coats, hand made nco stripes and other little quirks, such as collars turned down on frock coats. Shows the individuality of man, regardless of whose army you're in
