Scarce autographed CDV of James B Ricketts. " His battery was then attached to
William B. Franklin's Brigade of Samuel Heintzelman's Division. He was shot four
times and captured at the First Battle of Bull Run on July 21, when his battery was
overrun by Confederate infantry. For his personal bravery in the face of
overwhelming odds, on that same day Ricketts was brevetted as a lieutenant colonel
in the Regular Army. He was confined as a prisoner of war in Richmond, although
his wife Fannie was allowed to travel to Richmond and stay with him as his nurse. On
December 18, 1861, he was exchanged for Confederate Colonel Julius A. De
Lagnel. Ricketts was not paroled until January 1862, when he was placed on medical
leave to recuperate. On April 30, 1862, President Abraham Lincoln appointed
Ricketts a brigadier general of volunteers to rank from July 21, 1861. On his return
to duty, Ricketts was assigned to command of a division in Irvin McDowell's corps,
which he commanded at the Battle of Cedar Mountain, where he covered Nathaniel
P. Banks's withdrawal. At Second Bull Run, his division was thrown forward by
McDowell into Thoroughfare Gap to bar the advance of James Longstreet, who was
seeking to unite his wing with that of Stonewall Jackson. Ricketts, who was being
flanked and in danger of being cut off, withdrew. At the subsequent Battle of
Antietam, he had two horses killed under him and he was badly injured when the
second one fell on him. When he recovered sufficiently for duty, he was appointed to
the Fitz John Porter court-martial. He did not return to the field until March 1864,
when he was assigned to a division of John Sedgwick's VI Corps, which he led
through Ulysses S. Grant's Overland Campaign. His men were considered as low
quality, many of them being former members of Robert H. Milroy’s maligned
Winchester command. The division performed poorly at the Battle of the Wilderness
and without note at Spotsylvania Court House. However, Ricketts received the brevet
of colonel, Regular Army, for gallant and meritorious services at Cold Harbor,
Virginia, June 3, 1864, where he and his men performed well. In July 1864, Ricketts
and his command, numbering only 3,350 men, were hurried north to oppose Jubal
Early's attack on Washington, D.C. Ricketts fought at the Battle of Monocacy under
Major General Lew Wallace, suffering the heaviest losses while holding the Union left
flank. For his service there, on December 12, 1864, President Lincoln nominated
Ricketts for appointment to the brevet grade of major general of volunteers. Ricketts
was engaged in Philip Sheridan's Shenandoah Valley Campaign. At the Battle of
Cedar Creek, he commanded the VI Corps in the initial hours of the fighting but was
wounded by a Minié ball through his chest that disabled him for life. Despite his poor
health, he returned to command of his division two days before Robert E. Lee's
surrender at Appomattox Court House, April 9, 1865." Scarce autographed view by
Ulke.

Autographed cdv of General James McMillan. "When the American Civil War began
in 1861, McMillan chose to follow the Union cause. The 21st Indiana Infantry was
raised in Indianapolis, and McMillan was appointed its colonel on July 24. The
regiment participated in Maj. Gen. Benjamin F. Butler's Union occupation of New
Orleans in early 1862. His regiment then helped to successfully defend Baton Rouge
on August 5 from attacks by Confederate forces commanded by Maj. Gen. John C.
Breckinridge. In this fight McMillan had 126 men that were either killed or wounded,
and he was himself wounded in his left arm and chest. After the action at Baton
Rouge, McMillan's regiment was posted at Berwick Bay, near the end of the
Atchafalaya River, until February 1863. At that time the 21st Indiana converted to
the 1st Indiana Heavy Artillery. McMillan had been promoted to brigadier general on
November 29 of the previous year, and with this rank McMillan held brigade and at
times divisional command in the XIX Corps from March 1863 to May 1864. He then
participated in the Red River Campaign in the spring of 1864, fighting notably in the
Battle of Mansfield on April 8, as well as partaking in the Battle of Monett's Ferry on
April 23. During the Battle of Mansfield at De Soto Parish, Louisiana, McMillan and
the rest of the 1st Division were able to provide a steady line to rally on for the
near-panicking Union retreat. That July, the XIX Corps was sent east to the Valley of
Virginia, ordered to join Maj. Gen. Philip Sheridan's Army of the Shenandoah that
was assembling there. During that campaign, McMillan and his division fought in the
Battle of Winchester on September 19, where he was wounded when a shell
fragment hit him in the head. On October 19, McMillan fought with distinction during
the Battle of Cedar Creek, where he again arranged his men to rally fleeing Union
soldiers, providing a place to regroup for the coming rout of Lt. Gen. Jubal A. Early's
Confederate forces. After the campaign in the Valley, McMillan was ordered to lead
a "provisional" or temporary division in March 1865, with his headquarters in
Grafton, West Virginia, until the end of the war that April. McMillan was appointed a
brevet major general on March 5 for his war service, and resigned from the Union
Army on May 15." Original Brady image.
