Rare original CDV by Mathew Brady of Union General Alfred Ellet. "Alfred Ellet was born at
Penn's Manor Bucks County, Pennsylvania on the banks of the Delaware river and was the
youngest of six sons and the second youngest of fourteen children. In 1824, his family
moved to Philadelphia where he attended the public schools. At age 16, he went to Bunker
Hill, Illinois to take up farming. A farmer and dry goods store owner, he was a resident of
Illinois when the Civil War broke out. In August 1861, Ellet was commissioned a captain in
the 9th Missouri Volunteer Infantry Regiment, which later became the 59th Illinois Infantry. In
March 1862, he fought in the Battle of Pea Ridge. When his elder brother, Col. Charles
Ellet, Jr., undertook the conversion of several river steamers to rams in the spring of 1862,
Alfred Ellet became lieutenant colonel of Charles Ellet's U.S. Ram Fleet. Following Charles
Ellet's death in June 1862, Alfred took over the unit and was appointed brigadier
general of the newly formed Mississippi Marine Brigade the following November.
He commanded the Mississippi Marine Brigade during operations on the Western
Rivers until 1864, when the unit was disestablished. He resigned his commission late
in that year to return to civilian life." Very hard to find Union General.

"On August 27, 1861, Governor Oliver P. Morton commissioned John F Miller as Colonel of
the 29th Indiana Infantry. Miller saw action on the second day of the Battle of Shiloh, as well
as during the subsequent Siege of Corinth. Miller led his regiment through northern
Alabama and Tennessee and pursued Braxton Bragg through Kentucky. Miller commanded
a brigade under James Negley during the Battle of Stones River in late December 1862. On
the second day of the battle, Miller spearheaded the Federal counterattack across Stones
River which repulsed John C. Breckinridge's Confederate attack. During this charge Miller
was wounded in the neck. He was severely wounded, losing his left eye, in a minor fight at
Liberty Gap on June 27, 1863, and was out of action for nearly a year while he recuperated.
Miller was promoted to brigadier general April 10, 1864. He returned to the field in
December, commanding a sizable force of infantry and artillery at the Battle of Nashville. For
his services at that battle, Miller was brevetted as a major general on March 13, 1865."

Scarce pose of Brigadier General Peter Osterhaus by Scholten of St Louis. "At the outbreak
of the Civil War Osterhaus was appointed a major of the 2nd Missouri Volunteers and
during the first year of the war was employed in Missouri and Arkansas, where he took a
conspicuous part in the battles of Wilson's Creek (August 10, 1861) and Pea Ridge (March
7–8, 1862). At Pea Ridge he commanded the troops that first made contact with
Confederate forces advancing on the Union left. He was promoted to brigadier general on
June 9, 1862. In 1863 he commanded a division in the Battle of Port Gibson, where he
displayed tactical ability in prying Confederate defenders out of a favorable position.
Osterhaus continued in division command during the Vicksburg Campaign, fighting in the
Battle of Champion Hill and at the Battle of Big Black River Bridge, where he was slightly
wounded. Osterhaus's division made an unsuccessful first attack on the defenses of
Vicksburg, the first act of the Siege of Vicksburg. His division helped cover the siege against
intervention by the Confederate forces of Gen. Joseph E. Johnston, and he took part in Maj.
Gen. William T. Sherman's advance on Jackson, Mississippi, that was designed to protect
the rear of the Army of the Tennessee in its siege operations. After the fall of Vicksburg,
Osterhaus's division was transferred to Tennessee. In the Chattanooga Campaign
(November 23 to November 25) he aided Maj. Gen. Joseph Hooker in the capture of
Lookout Mountain. Osterhaus then participated in the Atlanta Campaign but a month long
sick leave caused him to miss the crucial battle of Atlanta. However, he returned to
command and played a significant role in the battle of Jonesboro. After the capture of
Atlanta, he received command of the XV Corps, one of the four corps into which the army
was consolidated, in the March to the Sea. In March, 1865 Osterhaus was appointed chief
of staff in the Military Division of West Mississippi under the command of Edward Canby, a
commander with little combat experience in high command. Osterhaus served Canby
through the battles of Spanish Fort and Fort Blakely. When Edmund Kirby Smith
surrendered the Confederate forces in the Trans-Mississippi Theater, Osterhaus was sent
as Canby's representative and therefore personally signed the documents on behalf of the
Union army."

CDV of Union General James B Steedman of Ohio. "At the start of the American Civil War in 1861,
Steedman chose to follow the Union cause and volunteered in the United States Army. He raised and was elected colonel
of the 14th Ohio Infantry Regiment on April 27. ] The 14th Ohio was initially a ninety-day unit, but was re-organized that
fall by Steedman when their enlistments were up. Steedman was mustered out of the volunteer service on August 13, and
was appointed a regular army colonel of the 14th Ohio on September 1,[3] shortly after the regiment re-enlisted for three
years. Steedman and the 14th first saw action in June during the Union victory at the Battle of Philippi in Barbour County,
Virginia (now part of West Virginia.) Steedman and his regiment were then sent to serve in the Western Theater. They took
part in Union victory during the Battle of Mill Springs near modern day Nancy, Kentucky, in January 1862. The 14th Ohio
also participated in the Siege of Corinth at Corinth, Mississippi, in late April and early June. Steedman was promoted to
the rank of brigadier general on July 17, 1862, and given brigade command in the Army of the Ohio. Following the Union
victory at the Battle of Shiloh in April 1862, Steedman and his brigade were sent to join Maj. Gen. Don Carlos Buell's army
in Kentucky that fall. During the Battle of Perryville on October 8, his brigade reinforced Brig. Gen. Rousseau's division,
timely filling a gap in the Union line and saving the division from being pushed from the field. Steedman would receive a
high commendation from Buell in his official report of the battle. Stteedman and his brigade fought during the Battle of
Stones River in December 1862 and into January 1863, with his command a part of Brig. Gen. Speed S. Fry's division of
the re-named Army of the Cumberland, now under the command of Maj. Gen. William S. Rosecrans. During the Battle of
Chickamauga in Tennessee in the fall of 1863, Steedman led the vanguard of Union Maj. Gen. Gordon Granger's Reserve
Corps to Maj. Gen. George Henry Thomas' aid on September 20. From his position north of the battlefield at MacAfee's
Church, Granger heard the sounds of the fight to the south. Without orders from Rosecrans, Granger sent Steedman's
brigade to support Thomas' last-ditch defensive effort as the rest of Rosecrans' defeated army raced for Chattanooga,
Tennessee. Steedman moved quickly and arrived about 2:30 p.m., just in time to stop Confederate Lt. Gen. James
Longstreet's attempt to turn Thomas's right. Steedman is credited with "performing the most conspicuous act of personal
courage recorded by any army officer during the Battle of Chickamauga"[4][5] and preventing Rosecrans' defeat turning
into a Union "disaster."[1] Military historian Ezra J. Warner stated that "His heroism was virtually the salvation of the Union
forces left on the field" at Chickamauga.[6] During the fight, Steedman was wounded when his horse was shot and killed
under him. In late 1863, Steedman participated in the Siege of Chattanooga, as well as the Third Battle of Chattanooga
from November 23–25.[2] He remained in Chattanooga, commanding all forces there until May 1864, during which he was
promoted to the rank of major general on April 20. Steedman also participated in much of the Atlanta Campaign,[2] and
then commanded the District of Etowah in the Department of the Cumberland from June 15 to November 29, and again
from January 5, 1865". Backmark by Cadwallader Toledo Oh.
