Description
Carte de Visite Portrait of Confederate Colonel St. Clair Dearing. Dearing was commissioned into field and staff of the 25th North Carolina Inf. on August 15, 1861, as a Lt. Col and resigned March 28, 1862, as the result of "Drinking too freely." Obviously a rather "colorful" character, Dearing appears to be absolutely huge and wears shell jacket with rolled collar with gilt tinted rank insignia. Belt with two piece buckle and holster, gauntlets, holding dark kepi with quatrefoil, knee high boots. The most remarkable detail is the Scottish basket hilted broadsword he holds in front of him. Dearing graduated from West Point in 1855 and served in the Regular U.S. Army until his resignation February 7, 1861. Finest quality and condition and a great Confederate image.Auction Info
