Little Round Top Regiment

[relichound]

This image I believe is a small albumen color tinted by hand. The 91st PVV was
at what we now call Little Round Top at Gettysburg, but it was after the 20th Maine's fight was over.
They took casualties from Southern artillery. It measures 4" X 3 1/8".

The 91st Pennsylvania was part of Weed's Brigade, Ayre's Division of Syke's Vth Corps. Weed's Brigade, led by the 140th New York, took position to the right of Vincent's Brigade as the Confederate attack was under way. The 140th New York suffered heavily, but the remaining regiments (including the 91st) were far enough out of the line of direct Confederate attack so that their casualty figures were significantly less. The present 91st Pennsylvania Monument on Little Round Top, erected in 1889, is quite recognizable. It replaced a smaller monument, erected some years earlier, which is now known as the Weed-Hazlett Monument. http://www.gettysburg.stonesentinels.com/PA/91Pa.php

IS there a name?

 

[relichound]

There is no name, or any back-mark that I can see at all. I wish there was.
Compared to a CDV or a hard image it is a strange bird, and not the kind of
thing that I usually collect at all. It is attached to an old piece of glass in front, and
the sides and back are some kind of paper or light cardboard. This is as well
as I can describe it. It came from an older CW collector that I used to know
and I purchased several Southern hard images from him.

I have a nice brown Springfield rifle-musket dated 1862 with the same marks as this kepi carved on the side of the butt, with a Maltese cross over a 91 over P.V.V.
The cross still has some red sealing wax inlay left in it.
This was obviously owned by some proud veteran of the 91st Pennsylvania Veteran Volunteer infantry.

Perhaps 15 minutes elapsed before the 91st and the other two regiments of the brigade joined the 140th New York on Little Round Top. By then the strongest (initial) attack by Robertson and Law is believed to have been repulsed, except for the 15th Alabama's battle with the 20th Maine, which was down on the other side of the hill. The 91st Pennsylvania probably lost one man killed by "friendly fire" at dusk on July 3, when one of the cannon of Battery D, 5th U.S. Artillery burst at the muzzle directly behind them, due to careless loading.

This photo I uploaded here about five years ago, and it is a fine image, but I no longer own it.
How can I erase it? I will ask we webmaster.

thanks, relichound
