(KILLED AT BIG BETHEL JUNE 1861)
A great war-date CDV of Lieut. John T. Greble, 2nd U.S. Artillery who, at the battle of Big Bethel, Va. June 10, 1861, became the first regular army officer killed in the Civil War. When killed, his body was dramatically borne from the field on the artillery piece he commanded, and for a time his death made him a martyr in the North. Backstamp by Allen & Horton, Boston. Lower left corner damage with some toning and soiling, else very good.
