[CIVIL WAR]. Avenue D - 13th New Jersey Vols. Tullahoma Tenn. Oct. 20th 1863. Civil War sketch by Corporal Charles Lelsle, 9th Ohio Light Artillery.
11 3/4 x 3 in. (visible) pen and ink sketch, matted and framed, 17 1/2 x 8 1/2 in. (sketch overall very good, water staining to mat, unexamined out of frame). Titled in lower margin and signed lower right, "C. Lelsle 9 OVA / Del." With period note partially mounted to back of frame, "Sketch made by me of Col. Geo. A. Beardsleys Co. 'D' 13th NJV. It was their winter or was to be, their winter quarters" (soiling to note, some corner and edge loss).
After participating in the battles of Antietam, Chancellorsville, and Gettysburg, the 13th New Jersey Volunteers were transferred to Tennessee in the fall of 1863. The 9th Ohio Light Artillery was also on duty in Tullahoma, TN, at this time, providing Corporal Lelsle the opportunity to sketch the 13th NJ Volunteers' quarters.
