Description
Confederate Admiral Franklin Buchanan Carte de Visite, no backmark, Confederate manufacture. Tiny clips to upper corners as made, bends to lower corners and small marginal stain. Very good condition. Marylander Franklin Buchanan (1800 - 1874) cast aside a stellar career in the U.S. Navy when he resigned in favor of the Confederacy. First serving in the War of 1812, Buchanan had been superintendent of the U.S. Naval Academy and was with Perry's expedition to Japan. Buchanan's great moment in gray came on March 8, 1862 when he demonstrated at Hampton Roads what the ironclad CSS Virginia could do to wooden warships.Auction Info
