$300.00
The subject of this Civil War Era Albumen Photo is identified as Samuel Noyes. This soldier has a fascinating, well documented history. This photo was taken during the time Noyes served in the Union army as he is in Uniform, he has shoulder boards consistent with an officer, so this is likely during his time with the First U.S. Volunteers. I purchased this piece from a reputable auction back east. It was one of a collection of Civil War "photo's".

Samuel Noyes was born in 1842 and died of tuberculosis in 1870. He enlisted as a private in the Union Army in 1862, a member of the Twelfth New Hampshire Infantry. A regiment sometimes referred to as the "New Hampshire Mountaineers". On July 2, 1863 ,Private Noyes and the 12th New Hampshire were under the command of Maj. Gen D Sickles, who moved his forces half a mile ahead of the rest of the Union front line forces and came under intense fire from the Confederates. Private Noyes suffered a gunshot wound to the shoulder during this engagement. He survived his injury but the wound left him unable to return to service with the infantry. He left the 12th New Hampshire. In 1864 he became an officer in the First U.S. Volunteers. The ranks of this regiment was made up of Confederate prisoners of war who had sworn an oath of allegiance to the Union, in exchange for freedom from prison. The regiment served the majority of its enlistment in the West.
