General Joseph A. Mower, Large Format Albumen Photograph
Albumen photograph, 6.75 x 8.5 in., mounted, 11 x 14 in. Mower is shown wearing his major general's uniform with XX Corps badge.Joseph A. Mower, "Fighting Joe," (1827-1870) entered the army during the Mexican War as a private, serving through 1848. He re-enlisted as a second lieutenant with 1st U.S. Infantry in 1855, and was commissioned volunteer colonel of the 11th Missouri Infantry at its inception in May 1862. He took command of the 2nd Brigade, 2nd Division, Army of the Mississippi, for the Second Battle of Corinth, during which he was wounded in the neck and taken prisoner, but was rescued by his comrades later in the battle. Mower was promoted to brigadier general less than two months later, in late November 1862, and commanded a brigade during the Siege of Vicksburg. For the Red River Campaign, he was given command of 1st & 3rd Divisions, XVI Corps, and was awarded regular army brevets for his services at Fort De Russy and Yellow Bayou. Mower was made major general in August 1864 and chosen by Gen. Sherman to lead 1st Division, XVII Corps, during the March to the Sea, following which Sherman gave him command of the whole of XX Corps. He remained in army service after the war, and died of pneumonia while on duty in New Orleans in 1870.
Print very good (light vertical scratch through Mower's eye is in the negative). Mount with light soiling and chipped corners.Condition
