Item Details
Description
Vignetted albumen CDV portrait of a soldier. Unmarked. Period pencil inscription to mount verso reads "Warren D. Carman / Sergt. [Co. H?] 1st / NYCV"

An impressive portrait of Sgt. Warren Carman (1845-1894) of Company H, 1st New York Cavalry. Carmen was just 19 when he enlisted in September of 1864. Notably, Carman earned the Medal of Honor for capturing a Confederate flag and taking prisoners during a battle at Waynesboro, Virginia in March 1865 during Sheridan's Raid from Winchester.

The 1st New York Cavalry was part of Sheridan's Shenandoah Valley Campaign, taking part in the battles of Winchester, Fisher's Hill, Cedar Creek, and the Raid to Gordonville. Carman and the regiment would see the end of the war at Appomattox, where they were present for the surrender of General Lee and his Army of Northern Virginia.
