Stanton taken in 1862 as a Sergeant, he went on to be promoted to Lt. then Capt. and Major all in the 3rd Iowa Cavalry. There is a gem tin type mounted on CDV card by a Louisville photographer of Corporal Silas D. Kirkhart in fine condition. Silas enlisted September 1861 and mustered out with his regiment in August of 1865 in Atlanta, GA. There is a albumen collage photograph on a 9″ X 6-1/2″ card showing 12 enlisted men of the 3rd Iowa Cavalry taken at Benton Barracks, MO in 1864. Ten are identified on back of image (John Fox, Hiram Randall, William Himes, Albert Spaur, Charles Sherman, Israel Randal, William Barker and Jacob MacVay) and there is a fine quarter plate tin type apparently showing central soldier from Albumen and a companion. There is a ninth plate tin type of a First Lt. D.J. Vance who served in the 4th Iowa cavalry. Other ephemera in this grouping 12 pieces of Iowa Cavalry reunion badges and ribbons including 3 pieces from 2nd Indiana Cavalry the others from 3rd and 4th Iowa Cavalry and a couple of Wilson’s Cavalry pieces. Included with this lot is a large album of biographical data on soldiers in the 3rd Iowa including those identified here. Also included are 6 orig documents concerning William Himes including his discharge document given to him in Atlanta, GA August 9, 1865. Widow’s pension document and three war time, one dated 1-9-65 relieving him from duty as Brigade Blacksmith sending him back into the ranks. There is a post war portion of a letter showing a nice clear signature of General James H. Wilson who was in charge of the 3rd Iowa and Corps. There is an 1860 dated Bible that is inscribed to Howard Shackleford Company K 3rd Iowa Cavalry. The inscription is dated June 5, 1865 ten days before Sgt. Shackleford was commissioned as a Capt. in the 138th USCT. There is a fine gold seal ring with an orange colored stone with reversed initials and date for sealing an envelope with wax which appears to read “CEF/June 1864″; ring is in same display case with other 3rd Iowa material but we do not know who this ring belonged to. For anyone doing research or collecting the 3rd Iowa Cavalry this is a fine archive. PROVENANCE: Greene Museum of Southern History. CONDITION: Photographs are very good overall. The Vance tin type and the Arnold gem tin type are dark. The two Himes quarter plates have both been cleaned and resealed with good contrast though image with two figures that was taken with backdrop of US fort and cannon is scratched and has a central 1/2″ flaw just touching one soldier. Other hard images are very good with good contrast. Images on paper have good contrast though soiled and CDV of Bowman is mounted on later card. Reunion material is in fair to fine condition as can be seen in photographs, 2nd Indiana Cavalry ribbon is only partial. Bible is shaken loose including end paper with inscription but appears mostly complete though some signatures are loose and misplaced. Binding has resewing including tab but this little 5″ X 3-1/2” will display well with name and presentation. 4-54279 JS308 (4,000-6,000) – Lot 3297
