Likely a modern compilation based on codes and prices penciled on some of the CDVs. The album contains 37 different military views, 3 of which are Buckeyes identified in period pencil, plus 13 civilians. The Civil War cartes comprise 10 officers and 14 enlisted men, all unidentified except for three, having an array of back marks including Xenia and Columbus Ohio, Indianapolis, Washington, D.C., Boston, Philadelphia, and Newburgh, New York. Three of the privates are small tintypes mounted on CDV stock. There are 9 additional lithographic album fillers of generals and admirals with a common colored lithograph of the war eagle “Old Abe.” One more CDV is a war time Military Academy cadet, another is an unknown foreign soldier wearing a medal, and the last is a turn-of-the-century US Infantry private with “17/E” insignia on his M1895 forage cap. The best CDV is pencil identified as “Lt. Colonel William N. Foster, 110th OVI” beneath a ball point notation added by an unknown family member or relative. Foster is shown gripping his sword and the view is likely unpublished. Foster joined as Lt. Colonel of the regiment in September 1862 and resigned in December 1863. The 110th OVI served for a year and half in West Virginia on garrison duty and later participated in the battle of Brandy Station in November 1863 before Foster resigned. The two identified enlisted CDVs are Musician John W. Cecil of Company C., 126th OVI, having a lengthy period pencil notation on verso, and ink-signed soldier “Ch. P. Garman” who was sergeant and later an officer in Company I., 113th OVI. Seventeen year old Cecil enlisted in September 1862 and transferred to the VRC in March 1864. The 126th OVI served in the 8th and 6th Corps, Army of the Potomac, and sustained over 200 casualties on May 6, 1864 in the Wilderness. Charles P. Garman joined as sergeant in September 1862, was promoted to lieutenant in February 1863, and captain in June 1865 before mustering out in July. The 113th OVI was a 14th Corps outfit that saw heavy fighting at Chickamauga and Kennesaw Mountain. Condition: Many of the CDVs are trimmed with varying degrees of moderate wear and soiling, some with minor damage, still G. overall. Leather album with loose sleeves having detached from the spine.
