Interesting Outdoor CDV somewhere in Tennessee of members of the 83rd Illinois Vols an the 2nd Illinois Light Artillery and their Dog "Jo". Many members of those regiments are identified in period ink along with the Dog who is seen as No. 2 in the photo. Others included are Lt Col Elijah Brott 83rd, Capt George W Reynolds 83rd, Pvt Alexander M Warwick 83rd, Major James P Flood 2nd Illinois LA, Lt Alexander Hudson 2nd Illinois LA. I am sure there is a nice history of their Regimental pet "Jo" somewhere out there.

Possibly one of the most important Carte's I have ever had the pleasure of owning!!!!. Photographed here is Union Major General James Blunt and his HQ Band. Taken in Paolo KS during the middle to end of 1863. Blunt is shown leaning on the wall at right along with his Band members. All of which were Murdered in Cold Blood by William Quantrill's men at Baxter Springs Kansas on October 6th, 1863 during Quantrill's bloody raid into Kansas which resulted in the sacking of Lawrence. Every band member in this photo were taken from a train and executed in cold blood by Quantrill's men and their instruments shown here are taken by the Confederates for their amusement. An important real photo of the Sectarian violence that rained in the Missouri/Kansas theatre of the War. Image is published in the Civil War Times Photographic History of the War. One of those images that just makes you tremble with excitement. Paola KS backmark with revenue stamp.
