Private Clement Granet, Company E, 22nd New York Infantry, pre-war occupation “gentleman”, was wounded in action at Antietam on 17 September 1862 …

He returned to duty in May but mustered out of the 22nd New York on 19 June 1863. In January 1864 he enlisted in the 58th Massachusetts Infantry, was promoted to Sergeant Major, and was commissioned First Lieutenant on 1 April. He was killed at Petersburg, VA on 30 July 1864. His commission as Captain arrived a week later.

His carte-de-visite seen here was offered for sale by the Excelsior Brigade in 2019 (and by Historical Auctions in 2017).

Private Norton E Hubbard of the 6th Wisconsin Infantry was severely wounded in the chest at Antietam on 17 September 1862, and was not doing well toward the end of September 1862, as described here on a page in Frank Hastings Hamilton’s Treatise on Military Surgery and Hygiene (1865).

Hubbard survived his wound and the war, but died young, at about age 25, in 1867.

A carpenter from Boston, 38 year old 2nd Lieutenant George Washington Orne, Company A, 12th Massachusetts Infantry was mortally wounded at Antietam on 17 September and died in a hospital in Frederick, MD on 8 October 1862. This is part of a particularly fine memorial to him (and his widow) in Pine Grove Cemetery, Westborough, MA.

First Lieutenant William Ross Hartshorne was the regimental Adjutant and led the Bucktails – the 13th Pennsylvania Reserves – at Antietam after Colonel McNeil was killed. He commanded again, as their Major, at Gettysburg in July 1863. He was commissioned Colonel of the new 190th Pennsylvania Infantry on 6 June 1864 but was captured in August 1864, while commanding the brigade, and was a prisoner to February 1865. He was honored by brevet to Brigadier General to date from March 1865.

His photograph in uniform is online from the Pennsylvania House of Representatives. The post-war image of the General is from Thompson & Rauch’s History of the “Bucktails,” Kane Rifle regiment … (1906).

Private Miles Zentmyer enlisted in the 125th Pennsylvania Infantry in August 1862 and was first in action, along with most of the regiment, at Antietam in September. He mustered out with them in May 1863 and studied the law and taught school for almost two years before enlisting again in February 1865. He was appointed First Lieutenant, Company F, 77th Pennsylvania Infantry in March, and finally mustered out for good in January 1866.

The painting here is in a collection of personal artifacts and documents online from great-grandson Gary Zentmyer. It is of Lieutenant Zentmyer and his tent at Camp Harker, TN in May 1865. It was painted by E. Hodsdon (1899) from a pencil sketch made by Private Henry Comb of Company F in 1865.
