Lot of 6 Brady/Anthony CDVs: Brig. Gen. Edwin H. Stoughton, '54, Col. 4th VT; abducted by John Mosby in an audacious midnight commando behind the lines at Fairfax C.H., Stoughton's capture was an embarrassment and his appointment was allowed to expire.

Samuel Sturgis '42; a household name in both theaters with four wartime brevets for Wilson's Creek, 2nd Bull Run, South Mountain, and Fredericksburg. The route at Brice's Crossroads ended his field career. Maj. Gen. Edwin V. Sumner; senior old army brigadier who commanded the 2nd Corps during the Peninsula campaign where he was twice wounded, fought at Antietam and Fredericksburg before requesting relief; died in March 1863. Maj. Gen. George Sykes '38; three wartime brevets including Gettysburg where he commanded the 5th Corps saving the tenuous position orchestrated by Sickles on the left of the Union line.
