YOU ARE BIDDING ON A HUGE CIVIL WAR SOLDIER/FAMILY LOT FROM PVT GEORGE W FOX, 7TH ILLINOIS VOLS, INCLUDING TWO HUGE FRAMES, ONE WITH FOX IN FULL GOLD HIGHLIGHTED PAINT TO THE UNIFORM, AND A FIELD BIBLE PROBABLY CARRIED BY FOX!
Regiment Name 7 Illinois Cavalry
This gorgeous Civil War family lot includes two 5.5" x 8" oval albumen photographs, one of a soldier (presumably George W. Fox, 7th Illinois, Co. A) wearing a gold highlighted U.S. leather strap and gold highlighted buttons, the other presumably of his wife in Victorian garb, in matching 15" x 17" period frames (great shape, nice woodwork, about 3" deep), an 1857 American Bible Society Holy Bible (pocket style, some wear to tab, some leather cracking, pages clean) identified to George Fox, Princeton, Illinois on FFEP, nine unidentified cabinet cards, CDVs, tintypes, and a sixth plate ambrotype of the same family, complete with velvet highlighted closing case. The name Sadie Wymer is located on the back of one photo, perhaps a relation of Fox. Most of the papers and photographs originate from northeast Ohio, especially New Philadelphia and Youngstown, possible a place where Fox's family eventually settled.

CONFEDERATE WAR CRIME Civil War C.S.A. Confederacy CSA Union Soldier Relic REBEL

A cavalry and military commander in the war, Forrest is also one of the war's most unusual figures. A crude man who had made his fortune as a slave trader, was noted for his violence. He was one of the very few in either army to enlist as a private and end the war at the rank of general. Forrest discovered and established new doctrines for mobile forces, earning the nickname The Wizard of the Saddle. He was accused of responsibility for war crimes at the Battle of Fort Pillow for leading Confederate soldiers in a massacre of unarmed black Union Army prisoners, but in the face of conflicting evidence was later cleared by the US Congress. After the war Forrest opposed Reconstruction policies and federal occupation by serving as the first Grand Wizard of the KKK and commander of the Grand Dragons of the Realms. In their postwar writings, both Confederate President Jefferson Davis and General ROBERT E. LEE stated the Confederate high command had failed to adequately use Forrest's talents.
In April 1864, the Union garrison at Fort Pillow, comprised 295 white Tennessee troops and 262 U.S. Colored Troops, all under the command of Maj. Lionel F. Booth. Confederate Maj. Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest attacked the fort on April 12 with a cavalry division of approximately 2,500 men. The Confederates launched a determined attack at 11:00 am, occupying more strategic locations around the fort, and Forrest demanded unconditional surrender. Bradford asked for an hour for consultation and Forrest granted twenty minutes. Bradford refused surrender and the Confederates renewed the attack. Casualties were high and only sixty-two of the U.S. Colored Troops survived the fight. Many accused the Confederates of perpetrating a massacre of the black troops, and that controversy continues today. The Fort Pillow Massacre became a Union rallying cry and cemented resolve to see the war through to its conclusion.

He signed this in Raleigh, NC during the occupation of some local railroads, and was mustered out at the end of the rebellion about 10 days later.
From: “History of Butte County, California”i, 1882:Capt ABNER L KNOWLTON
was born in Windsor, Hillsboro county, New Hampshire,
September 1. 1832, and was the son of Gideon Knowlton. He lived at Windsor until
twenty-two years of age. His early advantages for an education were very limited, but, at the
age of twenty-four, he went to the New Hampshire Conference Seminary, supporting himself
while there by sawing wood and teaching. He was there when the war broke out, and joined
the fourth New Hampshire infantry, and served four years. His regiment was in Sherman's
command at the capture of Hilton Head, in South Carolina. He was in the expedition that
captured Fernandina, Florida, and was at the siege of Charleston, participating in the
operations of this division into the winter of 1863. From Charleston, his regiment went to
Virginia, under the command of Butler, and was at the battle of Gloucester Point, at the
occupation of Bermuda Hundred, and the engagement at Drury's Bluff, called the Frog fight.
The regiment was sent to join Grant's forces at Cold
Harbor, and took part in the battle of the Wilderness.
From there, his companions were thrown across James
River in front of Petersburg, where they assisted in the
siege, and remained until the winter of 1864. Mr.
Knowlton was at the battle of the mine. In 1865, he was
sent south, under Butler, and was at the capture of Fort
Fisher, and accompanied Terry on his second expedition.
His regiment joined Sherman on his march from Columbia
to Raleigh, being at the battle of Bentonville, in North
Carolina. Mr. Knowlton was discharged in the summer of
1865, at Raleigh, and went back home, having gone into
the service as private, and come back captain. He opened
an office at Concord as civil engineer, and lived there
four years. He came west in the employ of the Northern
Pacific railroad, as assistant engineer on the preliminary
survey between Olympia and Portland. He then settled in
Walla Walla, and served there as county surveyor for four years. He then came to Butte
county, and was elected county surveyor in 1875, after being in Chico six months. He lost a
re-election in 1877 by one vote, but obtained a re-election in 1879. Mr. Knowlton was married
in 1866, at Concord, to Mrs. Lizzie E Hoyt, of Fisherville, New Hampshire.

CDV PHOTO CIVIL WAR SOLDIER 7TH PA RESERVES 36TH INF #11
Today I am listing individual photographs all from one group purchased recently in Carlisle Pennsylvania. They were all in one Civil War Photograh Album. All are members of the 7th Pennsylvania Reserves (36th Infantry). All of the photographs have Alexandria Va. back marks and were taken during the period of 1863 and early 1864 (see history below). I am also listing a photograph of the Regimental Flag belonging to the 7th Pennsylvania reserves, a photograph of General Meade and another of Andrew Curtin, Governor of Pennsylvania.
Organized in Washington July 27 1861 for a three year term. Brigadier General George G. Meade commanding.
Just some highlights of this regiment are: Mechanicsville, Gaines Mills where they were in the thick of the fight, Charles City Crossroads, Malvern Hill, Second Bull Run, South Mountain, Antietam where they suffered heavy losses, Fredericksburg where they fought gallantly, piercing the lines of Stonewall Jackson's corps, shattering three brigades and the capturing of the flag of the 19th Ga. by Corp. Jacob Cart of Carlisle Pa. Jacob Cart later received a medal of honor for his bravery.
On Dec. 17, 1862, the regiment went into winter quarters at Belle Plain, but left them to join in the "Mud March," and in Feb., 1863, was ordered to Washington for rest and to recruit. It remained at or near Alexandria throughout that year and the first months of the following year, and then joined the Army of the Potomac in the Wilderness campaign.
During the Wilderness campaign, on May 5th, 1864, the 7th Pennsylvania Reserves were cut off from the rest of the army, surrounded and forced to surrender. Only a small portion of the regiment managed to escape. Some of the remaining members were transferred to the 190th Pa Infantry. The bulk of this heroic regiment finished the war suffering in the rebel prisons, many were in Andersonville.
The regiment was mustered out at Philadelphia on June 16, 1864. Few returned for muster out. I read the numbers were only about 60 men out of more than 1000 men.
Some of the images are identified, some are not. I tried to find a photograph of Jacob Cart and I could not. I do know he lived until the 1880's. There has to be an existing photograph of him. Could he be in this group? George W. Palmer (one of the identified soldiers in the group) is buried in the Trindle Springs Lutheran Cemetery In Silver Spring Twp. near Carlisle. I found 6 more members of the 7th Pennsylvania Reserves buried in the same cemetery. I wonder if any of the unidentifed soldiers died in Andersonville or if they survived. I believe further research might put a name on some of the faces. Perhaps some of the regimental histories books in this area have some photos etc.
