Union troops. The trenches all along the lines were found to contain many dead
Confederates, and this view is but one of many that was made by the photographer showing
the dead just as they fell. By looking at a number of these views you can get an idea of
how a long stretch of the trenches looked that day. Of course the camera could not take

2348. Prof. Lowe observing the battle of Fair Oaks, from his balloon.
Thaddeus S.C. Lowe (1831-1913), American Civil War aeronaut, scientist and inventor. In June 1861 Lowe met with President Lincoln and offered to perform a demonstration with his balloon Enterprise and a telegraph set. The President commanded Gen. Winfield Scott to see to Lowe's formation of a Balloon Corps with himself as Chief Aeronaut. Lowe's first outing was performed at First Bull Run with General Irwin McDowell and the Army of the Potomac. His performance was impressive though he had the misfortune of having to land behind enemy lines. Fortunately, he was found by members of the 31st New York Volunteers before the enemy could discover him, but he had twisted his ankle and was not able to walk out with them. Eventually his wife Leontine, disguised as an old hag came to his rescue with a buckboard and was able to extract him and his equipment safely.
Lowe's services were also used at Sharpsburg and Fredericksburg. Though he had the use of hydrogen gas generators (each balloon camp was assigned two generator units), the inflation time was long and Lowe saved the day by quickly transferring the gas from the "Constitution" into the "Intrepid" by cutting a hole in the bottom of a camp kettle and connecting the balloons at the valve ends. The process took fifteen minutes, a time savings he valued at 'a million dollars a minute.' The Battle of Seven Pines, also known as the Battle of Fair Oaks or Fair Oaks Station, took place from May 31 to June 1, 1862. Spotted stain in sky of left image o/w VG. $400

Sheridan, U.S.A. Philip Henry Sheridan (1831-1888). One of the most famous of
Civil War Generals. Graduated from West Point in 1853, after having been
suspended for one year due to a quarrel with fellow-cadet William R. Terrill. He
ranked in the bottom third of his class. Served on the frontier for 8 years and
advanced in rank from the grade of second lieutenant, 4th Infantry only after
the defection of his superiors to the Confederate cause in 1861. He became chief
quartermaster and commissary of the Army of Southwest Missouri; next he served
as General Henry W. Halleck's headquarters quartermaster during the advance on
Corinth subsequent to Shiloh. On May 25, 1862, he was appointed colonel of the
2nd Michigan Cavalry and from then on his rise was meteoric. He was made a
brigadier general of volunteers on Sept. 13, 1862; fought at Perryville and
Murfreesboro; promoted to major general March 16, 1863. At Chickamauga Sheridan
commanded the 3rd Div. of Alexander Mcd. McCook's XX Corps, losing 1500 of 4000
men. Of course the best is yet to come and I direct the interested reader to

A Battery of "Flying Artillery." Flying Artillery, as it is sometimes called, is
a battery of light artillery (usually 10-pounder rifle guns), with all hands
mounted. In ordinary light artillery the cannoneers either ride on the
gun-carriage or go afoot. In flying artillery each cannoneer has a horse. This
permits very rapid movements of the battery. Flying artillery usually serves
with cavalry. This is Gibson's battery )"C," 3d U.S.) near Fair Oaks, June,

DC. Photographic Incidents of the War. No. 441. Gen. Caldwell and Staff, at Fair
Oaks, June, 1862. The man standing at the rear left is Nelson Miles (1839-1925).
Miles had an extraordinary career in service to the nation. Here are some of the
particulars:
Miles was born in Westminster, Massachusetts, on his family's farm. He worked in Boston and attended night school, read military history, and mastered military principles and techniques, including battle drills.
Miles played a leading role in nearly all of the Army's campaigns against the tribes of the Great Plains. In 1874-1875, he was a field commander in the force that defeated the Kiowa, Comanche, and the Southern Cheyenne along the Red River. Between 1876 and 1877, he participated in the campaign that scoured the Northern Plains after Lt. Col. George Armstrong Custer's defeat at the Battle of Little Big Horn, forcing the Lakota and their allies onto reservations. In the winter of 1877, he drove his troops on a forced march across Montana and intercepted the Nez Perce band led by Chief Joseph that had defeated or eluded every unit sent against it over a 1,500 mile stretch from Oregon to the Canadian border. For the rest of Miles' career, he would quarrel with General Oliver O. Howard over the credit for Joseph's capture.
In 1886, he replaced General George Crook as Army Commander against Geronimo in Arizona. Crook relied heavily on Apache scouts in his efforts to capture the Chiricahua leader. Instead, Miles relied on white troops, who eventually traveled 3,000 miles tracking Geronimo through the tortuous Sierra Madre Mountains without success. Finally, First Lieutenant Charles B. Gatewood, who had studied Apache ways, succeeded in negotiating a surrender, under the terms of which Geronimo and his followers were exiled to confinement on a Florida reservation along with all other Chiricahuas who had worked for the army, in violation of Miles' agreement with them. Miles denied Gatewood any credit for the negotiations and had him transferred to the Dakota Territory.
In 1890, the last uprising of the Sioux, known as the Ghost Dance, on the Lakota reservations brought Miles back into the field once more. His efforts to subdue them once more led to Sitting Bull's death and the massacre of 200 Sioux, which included women and children at Wounded Knee on December 29, 1890. Miles reacted to these fights by asserting U.S. authority over the Indians, believing that all Lakota should be placed under military control.
Under the law at that time, only one person at a time was authorized to wear and hold the rank of lieutenant general, which was then the highest rank an officer could hold. President Theodore Roosevelt, anxious to rid himself of Miles (they detested one another), swore in General Samuel B. Young as the first Army Chief of Staff on the very last day of Miles' tenure of office. For approximately a period of an hour, the United States had (illegally) two men as lieutenant generals serving on active duty. This was remedied when Miles was notified of his retirement by way of bicycle messenger and escorted out of his office to make way for the new Army Chief of Staff.
Miles served as a commander in the Civil War, the Indian Wars, and the Spanish-American War. In his late 70s, he volunteered to serve in the army during World War I as well, but was turned down by President Woodrow Wilson due to his age at that time. Perhaps fittingly, Wilson also turned down the request of one of Miles' biggest critics—Teddy Roosevelt—to serve in the European conflict.
Miles died May 15, 1925 at age 85 from a heart attack while taking his grandchildren to the circus in Washington, DC. He was buried at Arlington National Cemetery in the Miles Mausoleum. It is one of only two mausoleums located within the confines of the cemetery.

Hon. Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States. This is Ostendorf-49
(O-49). "Exhausted by a train journey during which he had traveled nearly two
thousand miles and visited seven states, Lincoln went to Brady's Washington
studio, probably on Sunday, February 24, 1861, and sat (opposite), absorbed in
problems, while Alexander Gardner took five poses...Apparently concerned about
the time the photographer was taking to prepare the lighting and plates, the
harried President-elect has just looked at the watch which he holds, case still
open, in his right hand."
(Hamilton
and Ostendorf, Lincoln in Photographs, An Album of Every Known Pose. Norman:
University of Oklahoma Press, 1963,
pps. 77-79). Ostendorf reports that "At this first Washington sitting,
Gardner also used a two-lens, or stereoscopic, camera" (p. 79). Yet later,
page 124, he says "Only about six stereographs of Lincoln were published
during his lifetime. They bear a publication date not later than 1865. With the
exception of the outdoor views of Lincoln at Antietam, which were taken with a
standard stereoscopic or two-lens camera, all of the contemporary published
stereographs of the President were made by combining two of the images
simultaneously recorded by a three- or four-lens camera." This
view is sometimes numbered 2968 and sometimes 2969. As Ostendorf says "In
1864 and 1865 the E&HT Anthony Company published four different pairs of
President Lincoln on the "Portrait Gallery" stereograph cards (O-49, O-84,
O-103, and O-104). Their identification number, either "2968" or "2969," was
given to all four views." (Hamilton and Ostendorf, Lincoln in Photographs, An

Taylor & Huntington, Hartford, Conn. Photographic War History. 918. Collecting
Remains of the Dead. This is a ghastly view showing the process of collecting
the remains of Union soldiers who were hastily buried at the time of the battle.
This is a scene on the battlefield months after the battle, when the Government
ordered the remains gathered for permanent burial. The grinning skulls, the boot
still hanging on the fleshless bones, the old canteen on the skeleton, all
testify to the hasty burial after the battle. Looking on this scene you can
easily understand why, in all National Cemeteries, there are so great a number
of graves marked "Unknown." These are the "unknown" heroes of the war, who "died
that our Nation might live." VG. $325

greenhouse. In the Anthony series of Washington views, numbers 2734 and 2735 are
images of Native American delegates in the Conservatory. Those views were taken
on March 27, 1863 and it is possible that this view was taken the same day. G-.
