Impressive horizontal 1/4 plate ambrotype on ruby glass of Clark Walker and his brother Lewis Walker (18th Connecticut.) Splendid image of the pair, with their pistols in their belts. The trim on their jackets are tinted red, the buttons are gilded. A large black & white broadside from 1861 shows Walker mustered in as a private at Providence, in "Buckley's Battery," Battery D of the 1st Rhode Island Light Artillery." This tattered broadside has nice engravings, and an account of service in 1861, 1862. Another, later broadside, with colored lithographs, shows Walker among the officers as "Artificer." The regiment served in Virginia early in the war, including Fredricksburg, Manassas, South Mountain, Warrenton, 2nd Bull Run, Antietam, and later the Siege of Knoxville. A large ledger-sized diary is written in pen. It takes 20 single-space pages to give typed transcription. It is mostly a detaled account of the activities, with some more vivid narrative sections. A close study and correlation with other accounts would surely add to the accurate record of the many actions Walker participated in. That diary seems to have been written afterwards, from notes. There are also two pocket diaries carried by Clark in 1864 and 1865. A 1/6 plate ambrotype shows his wife Josephine Walker and their baby Arthur c. It is neanltyl cracked but shows them clearly. There's also a later scarpbook by a descendant. The main ambrotype, in full case with separated spine, is [4].
