Confederate army officer (1831–1879) who, after graduating near the bottom of his West Point class, served in California and Texas. Resigning to join the Confederate service, Hood commanded a brigade at Second Bull Run and Antietam and a division at Gettysburg, where he was seriously wounded. Exceedingly rare wet plate, albumen salt print image, mounted to 2.5 x 3.75 card. Bust view in Confederate uniform. No backmark. The view was taken in either the spring or summer of 1862. This card was presented to the family of Major Richard Channing Price by the legendary Confederate cavalry commander, and their cousin, General J.E.B. Stuart. In fine condition, with light toning, wear, and trimmed edges. Incredibly rare opportunity to own an actual wartime Confederate image that was picked out, held, and presented by the legendary Confederate General J.E.B. Stuart.
