| Cdv Texas Confederate General - Benjamin McCulloch |
|
| Here is an Anthony Marked Cdv of Texas Confederate
General Benjamin McCulloch ! McCulloch had a remarkable
life. Friend of Davy Crockett, he barely missed being at the Alamo
due to measles. Serving later he received a battlefield commission
from Sam Houston, at San Jacinto. After Texas Independence,
McCulloch became a seasoned Indian Fighter with the Texas
Rangers. In the Mexican War, he became the Chief Scout for US
General Zachary Taylor, and Major of US Volunteers. Catching
Gold Fever, McCulloch made the journey to California, but like
many failed to find his fortune. To pay the bills though, he served
as Sheriff of Sacremento. As a Confederate Colonel at the
beginning of the Civil War, McCulloch accepted the US surrender
of the Federal Arsenal at San Antonio. Promoted to Brigadier
General he commanded Arkansas, Louisiana, & Texas Troops
at the August 10th, 1861, Battle of Wilson's Creek, Missouri.
Commanding one wing of the Confederate Army at the Battle
of Pea Ridge, Arkansas, on March 7th, 1862, McCulloch was
killed by Federal Skirmishers while doing personal reconnaisance.
Mount has the double gold line border, but has been heavily
trimmed top & bottom. McCulloch's image is faded but his
features are still easily recognizable. Reverse shows the
Photographer's mark of E & H.T. Anthony, New York.
When found in excellent condition, this Cdv usually sells for
around $195, but with the trimmed mount, and moderate
fading, this one is priced very nice !
