LOT OF 2 CDVS, MAJOR P. FOX, 1ST MICHIGAN E&M AND SON J.N. FOX, 1ST .
LOT OF 2 CDVS, MAJOR P. FOX, 1ST MICHIGAN E&M AND SON J.N. FOX, 1ST . Both cartes without bm and identified in period ink on verso. Perrin V. Fox enlisted as a private and by war's end had risen to brevet Colonel of the specialist 1st Michigan Engineers. Sixteen-year old Newton Fox joined his father's regiment in 1864 and earned the chevrons of a Sergeant Major. Both men were discharged in September 1865. Serving in the western theater the skilled Wolverine artisans perfected techniques of combat engineering and static construction winning a solid reputation for reliability. As specialists they were considered too valuable to serve as infantry though when forced to do so they acquitted themselves admirably. The Newton P. Fox cdv is trimmed, otherwise both in VG condition. Provenance: Mickle album. PLEASE NOTE: THIS LOT WILL BE SOLD ON EBAY LIVE AUCTIONS BETWEEN 4:00-5:00pm EASTERN DAYLIGHT TIME ON MAY 10, 2002.
