Description: Quarter-plate, uncased tintype and mat, with the following writing on the back: "Edward Morris Buckley brother of Annie B. Morris, taken during the Civil War 1863, 1st Regt New York (Troop E) Mounted Rifles", followed by some harder to read stuff, it might say presented to his mother Mrs. Effingham Buckley . Buckley was appointed regimental quartermaster sergeant in March '63. I found an obituary (listing pic 3, original not included) for him saying that he died in Sinoe, Liberia, of "coast fever" on Sunday, May 13, 1866. His family were abolitionists, and I believe Buckley was a member of the American Colonization Society (ACS), which was an organization that sought to relocate free and formerly enslaved Black people from the Americas to West Africa. Tintype has some bends but is in overall VG antique condition. Boxed shipping. 7880A
