Union Major General James B. Ricketts Signed CDV Photo
JAMES B. RICKETTS, c. 1864 Civil War, Signed Carte de Visite, Union Brevet Major General James B. Ricketts, Choice Extremely Fine.
Superb quality, Signed Civil War Carte de Visite of Brevet Major General James B. Ricketts, 2.5” x 4.25”, no backstamp. Image shows a chest-up pose of Ricketts in uniform with the text, vividly Signed “James B. Ricketts / Brv. Maj Gnel” below the image. This wonderful card is said to have come out of an 1865 Autograph album whereby General Ricketts had personally sent this CDV to raise money for a charity. Overall a beautiful crisp bold autograph and excellent image. Rare.
James B. Ricketts (1817-87) Graduated in the West Point class of 1839. Fought in the Mexican War in the battles of Monterey and Buena Vista. At 1st Bull Run, on July 21, 1861, he commanded a battery attached to General Samuel P. Heintzelman's division, and during this battle he was shot four times and captured, and not exchanged until January 1862.

He later fought at Cedar Mountain, 2nd Bull Run, Antietam where he had two horses killed out from under him, and was badly injured when the second one fell on him, in Grant's 1864 Overland campaign, and Cedar Creek, where he was seriously wounded by a bullet through his chest.
