Lot Description
[CIVIL WAR - GETTYSBURG]. BRADY, Mathew (1822-1896), photographer. CDV of General Henry Jackson Hunt, Chief of Artillery, Army of Potomac. Washington, DC.
2 1/8 x 3 3/8 in. CDV on cardstock mount (few minor spots/stains, slight curve to print and mount). Verso with Brady's Washington, DC, imprint, period identification, and later penciled notation.
Henry Jackson Hunt (1819-1889) received four wartime brevets including two for "gallant and distinguished conduct in the battle of Gettysburg." His deliberate array of seventy-eight guns pounded Pickett's dense columns with concentrated fire. He was later put in charge of siege operations at Petersburg.
