I have had this album for about 30 years now. When I first got it, I committed the cardinal sin of selling some of the CDV's. But I kept most of them. The album belonged to Rebecca Marquand Crosby Caverly. Her husband was Zachariah Boody Caverly, Minister of Legation to Peru, She went down on the ship Schiller along with her daughter.
Next is Henry Austin Martin. Martin was a staff surgeon with the U. S. Vols and a Brevet Lieutenant Colonel "for gallant and meritorious services" in a wartime campaign.
Dr. Dixi Crosby. Crosby served in the provost marshal's office by day during the Civil War and attended to his medical practice at night.
Doctor John Howell Mackie Acting Surgeon US NAVY
Brigade Surgeon Alpheus Benning Crosby "Dr. Ben" 1st NH Volunteers
Lucius Manlius Sargent American Author Antiquarian and Temperance Advocate
Thomas W. Bicknell. Bicknell signed on to help settle the State of "Free Kansas" to prevent the spread of slavery. On the way to Kansas he was taken hostage by bandits on the Missouri River, but after two weeks as a prisoner, sharpshooters set him adrift.
General Isaac "Bela" Ingalls Stevens. During the American Civil War, he held several Union commands. He was killed at the Battle of Chantilly, while at the head of his men and carrying the fallen colors of one of his regiments against Confederate positions. According to one account, at the hour of his death Stevens was being considered by President Abraham Lincoln for appointment to command the Army of Virginia.
The album is literally filled with government officials, civil war officers, Doctors and abolitionists. But above are a few. If anyone is interested in it, let me know, I can send a link to all the photos, including the photos I sold.
