- Lot Description
Folk art carved, dark wood battle record, 11.5 x 11.5 in. x 1 in. deep, with bone border and stars in the corners, and an inlaid tree made of leaves, each carved with the name and date of a Civil War battle. The trunk is carved Battles for the Union and the four main branches Dept. of the South, Army of Virginia & of the Potomac, and Dept. of the West, with 29 leaves representing battles fought in 1861 and 1862. Carved nameplate at lower right reads A.H. Barber / Co. C / 2 Reg't. Wis.
Alexander H. Barber enlisted in Co. C of the 2nd Wisconsin on October 24, 1861, was wounded at Antietam (Sept. 17, 1862), and discharged for disability on May 15, 1863. Based on that record and the dates of the battles included in the piece, it seems likely that Private Barber carved it while recuperating from his wounds in late 1862 or early 1863.
