17 year old Private Charles F Cleveland of the 26th New York Infantry was later awarded the Medal of Honor for his bravery in carrying the colors at Antietam and was wounded there.

His picture here is from 1899 when he was Chief of the Utica, NY Police Department. It’s from a Sketch of the Utica Police Force posted to Facebook by the Department in December 2020.

A photograph from the Library of Congress of a signal station atop John G. Barnwell’s house in Beaufort, SC some time after 5 December 1861 when Federal troops occupied the town.

There was more than one John G. Barnwell in Beaufort before the war, but this house probably belonged to Captain John Gibbes Barnwell who was Ordnance Officer to General Pendleton on the Maryland Campaign.

This carte de visite (CDV) of Robert F. Hoke wearing Lieutenant Colonel’s stars is in the North Carolina Collection Photographic Archives at the University of North Carolina.

Hoke commanded the 33rd North Carolina Infantry at Sharpsburg and was a Major General by the end of the war.

Lieutenant William H Jones of the 23rd New York Infantry was shot in the left lung at Antietam, a wound which contributed to his early death at age 27 in 1867. This photograph of him was offered for sale on ebay in January 2021.

Riley Johnson owned the Johnson House, a hotel near the railroad depot in Ogdensburg, NY before the war. Captain Johnson led Company K of the 6th New York Cavalry in Maryland in 1862; they were detailed as Headquarters Escort for General Sumner, 2nd Army Corps.

The hotel photograph is from the Ogdensburg Public Library, published in David E. Martin’s Ogdensburg (Arcadia, Images of America series, 2003); the clipping from the Ogdenburg Daily Journal of 25 March 1885.
