- Lot Description
Civil War Sixth Plate Ambrotype of A.J. Waters, 4th Mississippi Cavalry, Holding a Whitney Percussion Revolver and Colt M1851 Navy Revolver
Sixth plate ruby ambrotype of a dapper Southerner wearing an elaborate battle shirt, and holding a Whitney revolver in his hands and a Colt Model 1851 Navy Revolver in his belt. Housed in a half case with a lock of hair and pencil inscription under the plate identifying the man as A.J. Waters, as well as a blessing written by his sister and mother: O bless who in the battle Dies/ God will enshrine them in the skies/ Now let warrior plume (illegible) and move him toward afar(?) / For the men of the North shall bleed this day/ And the sun shall blush with war.
There are seven soldiers with the initials and name A.J. Waters on the Confederate rolls, but the consignor belies this to be a private who served in Co. D, 4th Mississippi Cavalry.
