Captain Charles H Smith led his Company D of the First Maine Cavalry on the Maryland Campaign and was Provost Marshal at Frederick from 13 December into January 1863. He was later awarded the Medal of Honor for his bravery in action at St. Mary’s Church, VA on 24 June 1864.

This carte-de-visite of him was sold by Cowan’s Auctions in 2013.

Private Charley Delano of the First Maine Cavalry had his horse “shot from under him” at Antietam. He’s seen here in a photograph in Edward Parson Tobie’s History of the First Maine Cavalry, 1861-1865 (1887).

20 year old Private William F Fuller of the First Maine Cavalry was slightly wounded in action at Frederick, MD on 12 September 1862 “while charging into town with the advance.” This post-war photograph of him is from Edward Parson Tobie’s History of the First Maine Cavalry, 1861-1865 (1887).

On the right is a photograph of then-Lieutenant William H Williamson of the 7th Tennessee Infantry. As a Captain he led his Company at Sharpsburg. He was promoted to Major but lost his right arm at Gettysburg and was a prisoner for the rest of the war. In January 1873, by then a circuit court judge, he married General John Hunt Morgan’s widow Martha O.”Mattie” Ready. That’s her with her first husband at the left.

Williamson’s photograph is from the Loewentheil family collection as published in William Thomas Venner’s The 7th Tennessee Infantry in the Civil War (2013). The Morgans’ image accompanied a piece about Mattie by Shirley Farris Jones in The Murfreesboro Post of 26 December 2008. An original carte-de-visite of the scene is at Duke University among their Special Collections.

James Franklin Hart had been a member of the Washington Artillery in Union, SC before the war and was their Captain in Maryland. He’s seen here, circled, with other members of the battery and their guidon at an 1896 reunion in a photograph in the South Carolina Confederate Relic Room and Military Museum in Columbia. It’s online thanks to David Evans on Great Pee Dee.
