Classic wet plate, albumen 4 x 2.5 carte-de-visite photo. The village drums were beating, and the shrill call of the fife filled the midwestern air, as the men and boys of Momence, Illinois, short on weaponry, but long on patriotism and eager for revenge, answer President Lincoln's call to arms. Great view of three drummer boys, (one bass drummer, two snare drummers) and two fifers, leading this parade of town folks, some of the men holding sticks, with horses and farm equipment in the background. This exact view is published in "The Civil War, An Illustrated History," by Geoffrey C. Ward, with Ric Burns and Ken Burns. This is the companion volume to the celebrated Ken Burns series, "The Civil War." Backmark: J.B. Hamilton, Momence, Ill. In fine condition, with mild toning and wear.
