This was simply added to the ebay image to keep others from copying without permission. ************************************* This auction is for an original SIGNED autograph CDV photograph of Civil War Colonel CHARLES M WHELDON (1821-1910). A 41 year-old Druggist when he enlisted as a Lieut Colonel on 11/25/1861. On 11/25/1861 he was commissioned into Field & Staff of the 31st Mass. Infantry. He Resigned on 12/23/1862. Wheldon has signed on the reverse: "Friendly Yours / Chas M Wheldon / 31st Mass Regt" Written in another hand: "Given to me by him, whilst aboard. Col. Wheldon was among the troops we landed from the Miami, back of Fort St. Philip, April 1862." For a detailed account of the service of the Colonel under General Benjamin Butler, please follow this link: https://31massinf.wordpress.com/history/part-4-the-administration-of-general-butler-1862/ Measures 2 3/8" x 4 3/16" Sold just as-found, with no rips, tears, holes, creases, folds, or repairs. Photo has not been trimmed or altered. Again, this is an original vintage photograph with an authentic autograph, not a copy or reproduction! Charles M. Whelden was born at Boston, December twenty-sixth, 1821, and died at Newton, Massachusetts, January twenty-fifth, 1910. He became a resident of Pittsfield in 1851, after adventurous experiences in California and South America. At the outbreak of the Civil War, he attached himself to the leadership of Gen. Benjamin F. Butler; and through the influence of that much-debated commander he was commissioned a lieutenant colonel in 1862. The actual commission, because of the pique, it was said, of a fellow officer, did not come into his possession until 1895. Col. Whelden served as a provost marshal in Louisiana, Virginia, and North Carolina. He was for many years of his long life a druggist in Pittsfield, where his sprightly temperament and ability to make many men his friends brought him often to the fore in town affairs and in those of the Rockwell Post.
