Twelve albumens of military men, none on mounts. Includes: General Grant (1822-1885, USMA 1843), one image as Lt. General, one taken in 1861 at Cairo, IL (in Hardee hat) General John C. Fremont (1813-1890), the "Pathfinder" who explored a route west around the Great Salt Lake, which encouraged the Mormons to settle there. He was the first Republican Party nominee in 1856, and opposed Lincoln in 1864. He is primarily associated with the West, having served as military governor of California, as well as representing that state as one of its first Senators, and then as territorial governor of Arizona. Jacob D. Cox (1828-1900), Maj. Gen. Cox was born in Canada, but grew up in New York, moving to Ohio at 18 with his parents. He went to Oberlin College, then studied law, being admitted to the bar in 1853. He was a member of the state Senate, and a brigadier general of state volunteers. When the war came, he was commissioned Brig. Gen. of Volunteers. He fought early with McClellan, but was then sent to his home territory, where he drove back Confederates from West Virginia, and was later put in command of the District of Ohio. He received a commission as Maj. Gen. in 1863. At the end of the war, he returned to Ohio. He became Secretary of the Interior under Grant (1869-70). He resigned and worked as a representative from Toledo, served as president of the Wabash railroad, and dean of the Cincinnati law school and president of the University of Cincinnati. Adam J. Slemmer (1829-1868, USMA 1850) was sent to Florida to fight the Seminoles after graduating from West Point. He returned to teach mathematics for four years and was then assigned to Fort Moultrie, SC then back to Florida. He was wounded so severely at Stone's River that he was unable to return to the field. He served on an examining board until the close of the war, then commanded Fort Laramie, DT. The others are as yet unidentified, although one might be Farragut (if so the lithographer took a few liberties). Condition: A couple with clipped corners. Most never mounted.
