Civil War CDV General David Hunter

  

This Civil War CDV (Carte de Visite) features General David Hunter, a prominent figure in the Union army during the American Civil War. The photograph is an original period item and depicts Hunter in his military uniform.

It is a great addition to any militaria collection and a unique piece of American history. General Hunter served in the Northwest frontier before the Civil War.

Was later wounded at the First Battle of Bull Run. When he recovered, he developed one of the first black regiments made up of runaway slaves.

He was the president of the committee that tried Lincoln assassination conspirators. The CDV was produced in the United States and showcases Hunter during the peak of the conflict.
