Lot 876
Rosecrans, General William S (1819-1898) Union Civil War Major General. Carte-de-visite Photograph Signed ("W.S. Rosecrans") at the lower edge of the image. The signature is somewhat light; otherwise, in excellent overall condition. It has the maker's stamp of "C.M. Bell of Washington, D.C." in gold on the lower front mount and again on the back. Rosecrans led the Union Army of the Cumberland to a victory at Stones River, for which he was given the Thanks of Congress. His defeat at Chickamauga cost him his command. Sanders has no price listed for a signed photograph by Rosecrans and there are only two prior sales records listed in American Book Prices Current since 1975.
Estimated Value $450 - 650.
