- Lot Description
Sixth plate ambrotype of a Confederate soldier with one hand on his Whitney percussion revolver tucked into his CS belt and the other hand displaying his cavalry sabre. Housed in a thermoplastic case with floral designs.
This image came to us in a box with a modern inscription identifying the subject as Private Thomas Colvard, 1st North Carolina Cavalry & 9th NC State Troops, although we cannot confirm this identification. If it is correct, however, the soldier had an eventful three years of service, being captured and exchanged twice and wounded twice. Colvard was wounded in a skirmish near Barbee's Crossroads, VA, on November 5, 1862, and taken prisoner for ten days before being exchanged, and was captured in June 1863 at Upperville, VA, again spending less than two weeks in Union custody before being exchanged at City Point.
