Photo of the Home of CSA Surgeon Caldwell
<B>Confederate Surgeon Major Samuel Houston Caldwell- Albumen Photograph of his Home and Family</B></I> at Paris, Tennessee. This photo measures 9½” x 7” and shows Dr. Caldwell sitting on his porch with his wife Mary standing beside him. At the left of the front door of the elaborate Victorian home are his two daughters Alice and Dule Caldwell. At the far left is a black servant sitting on a horse. Taken about 1885, it gives evidence of the Confederate surgeon's life after the war. There is some light spotting at the center which does not affect the picture quality. Unfortunately, this fine home was demolished in 1937. A heavy lock with Dr. Caldwell's initials has survived and is offered in this sale as Lot 74273.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Flat Material, Small (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
