(MICHIGAN SOLDIERS WHO CAPTURED JEFF DAVIS)
A great group of six war-date CDVs and tintypes of soldiers from the 4th Michigan Cavalry. This regiment was on the expedition to capture Jeff Davis and it was the members of this regiment who actually took the fleeing Confederate president into custody, May 10, 1865. Included in the group are Company H members: 1st Lieut. Herbert Backus, Sgt. John Douglas (two different poses), Corporal Wm. McCune, Privates Augustus Grawn and Lucius Bates, who was captured earlier in the war outside of Nashville. Period identification on each with tops corners of the cards clipped not affecting the images. Minor soiling, else very good.
