Abner Doubleday, Union General.  Credited by many as the inventor of baseball when a young man at Cooperstown, NY (a claim equally contested by others), Gen. Doubleday is noted as firing the first cannon in defense of Fort Sumter in 1861.  He commanded a division at Antietam and Fredericksburg and headed the I Corps at Gettysburg after the death of General Reynolds on July 1, 1863.  Carte de visite portrait (posed with his wife) by Matthew Brady published by E&HT Anthony, an unusual "clock portrait" rarely seen these days, even less often available for purchase.
Price:  SOLD.
