Hello and happy Thanksgiving everybody! Hope you all have a great Thanksgiving. I've been trying to compile a picture collection of all the officers who served as generals during the Civil War and so far I've been fairly successful until I got to Brig. Gen. Charles Carroll Marsh, usually referred to as C. Carroll Marsh. Here's the Wikipedia page for him.
He was born in Oswego, New York but must have moved as a child because he grew up in Illinois and ended up as the colonel of the 20th Illinois before he was promoted to brigadier general. But I can't find any photos or illustrations of this man no matter where I look. Surely there must exist at least one picture of this fellow, right? I have tons of CDVs of sergeants, corporals, down to plenty of privates and this guy was nothing less than a brigadier general so I'm presuming he must have at least taken the time to have his likeness made wouldn't you think?
So I'm asking if someone out there has a picture of Brig. Gen. C. Carroll Marsh and can post it on this thread and I don't care at this point if he's wearing civilian clothes or if it's only an old woodcut illustration or whatever, I just need some kind of picture of this person so my O.C.D. doesn't drive me up the wall. (Anyone with O.C.D. knows that I would have been MUCH better off psychologically with zero pictures of Civil War generals at all than pictures of all of them except for one which until I find it will drive me nuts! But I've already started collecting them so I can't go back). You understand. Thanks so much to whomever can help me with this and again happy Thanksgiving to everyone.
