DANIEL BUTTERFIELD I.S.P.
<b>69. DANIEL BUTTERFIELD </b>(1831 - 1901) Union major general who commanded a brigade at Bull Run and led a corps in the desperate assault on Marye's Heights. Butterfield is also credited with writing "Taps". Outstanding, oversized albumen I.S.P., 18" x 19 1/2", an impressive Pach Bros. photograph showing Butterfield in full uniform with hat and sword in hand, inscribed in the white bottom margin: "<i>To the brave men who served under my command in days gone by and who are now my comrades in the G.A.R. & belong to Post 353 - Greenport Long Island - with kind regards of their old commander. Daniel Butterfield</i>". Dampstains at left and right margins are clear of the image, which itself shows a light horizontal area of white spotting, still a very attractive and rare image, wonderfully inscribed.<b> $800-1,200</b>
