Jackson, the proprietor of the Marshall House Hotel in Alexandria, Virginia, on May 24, 1861, after having removed a Confederate flag from the roof of that building. A correspondent of the New York Tribune was on the scene, and the episode caused an immediate sensation which contributed greatly to the war sentiment in the North. Wet plate, albumen 2.25 x 4 carte-de-visite photo. Full standing view wearing kepi, overcoat with cape, and holding a walking stick. No backmark. In fine condition, with slightly trimmed edges.
