Halt at Clarksburg, Sept 12th 1862, McClellan&#8217;s Staff (DH Strother, 1862)
David Hunter Strother (1816 &#8211; 1888) &#8211; writer, artist and Federal officer &#8211; was on General George McClellan&#8217;s staff on the Maryland Campaign of 1862.  His creative skills resulted is some fascinating artifacts of that period, which I&#8217;m enjoying in my study of Antietam and [...]]]></description>

G.A. Custer (c. 1865, Library of Congress)
I&#8217;ve just been reading a brand-new edition of Dee Brown&#8217;s Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee, out just last month from Sterling Publishing.  It&#8217;s a beautifully packaged and illustrated version of the landmark 1970 work, which looks at the West from 1860-90. I recommend it highly.
While the main point [...]]]></description>

M.A. and G.A.G. Coppens (1861, from Cowan&#8217;s Auctions)
This stunning piece is a rare image of two Louisiana Zouaves, one of whom was killed in action at Sharpsburg. It is among a trove of pictures of &#8220;my boys&#8221; I&#8217;ve harvested from the web in the last few days &#8211; thanks to Cowan&#8217;s, Heritage, and Museum Quality [...]]]></description>

Elements of the Fourth were among the few Union cavalrymen engaged at Sharpsburg that day &#8211; the Federal mounted arm was not a major factor in the battle.
