CDV by Mathew Brady, New York, showing a shoulder-length view of Edmund Lovell Dana (1817-1889), signed "Edmd. L. Dana, Col. 143 P.V." below image. Dana enlisted at the age of 45 and was commissioned into F&S of the 143rd PA as its colonel 11/62; WIA 5/64 in the Wilderness campaign and, possibly for this reason, captured (confined at Macon, GA); exchanged 8/64; brevetted brigadier general 7/65; mustered out 8/65. Organized at Wilkes-Barre, PA, under the command of Colonel Dana, the 143rd PA saw action at a number of major battles throughout the Civil War, including Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, the Wilderness, Cold Harbor, Petersburg, and more. Condition: Even toning, clipped corners.
