BUTTERFIELD, DANIEL
(1831 - 1901) Union major general who commanded a brigade at Bull Run, awarded the Medal of Honor for Gaines Mill, and wounded in that battle and Gettysburg. He also helped design the corps badges for the army and is credited with writing ""Taps"". Fine and rare early war-date S.P., a carte-de-visite image by Addis, Washington, showing a vignette view of Butterfield as a colonel of the 12th New York Volunteers, signed ""Daniel Butterfield U.S.A."" at bottom. The 12th New York was the first Union regiment to enter Virginia in May 1861. Minor fold a top of albumen, else very good.
