Civil War CDV - 5th Michigan Cavalry, Custer Brigade, POW

Description

Offered here is an original Civil War CDV of Private Warren W. Jones, Company F, 5th Michigan Cavalry, of the famed Custer Brigade.  Company F was formed and recruited by Major Noah Ferry (KIA East Cavalry Field, Gettysburg) and consisted mostly of lumberjacks, saw mill workers and river men of White River in northern Muskegon County on Lake Michigan.  They became known within the 5th Michigan as the White River Tigers.  Private Jones was one of these men.
Private Jones enlisted in August 1862.  As part of the 5th Michigan Cavalry, he participated in several major battles, among them Gettysburg, The Wilderness, Cold Harbor, Trevilian Station (the largest all-cavalry battle of the Civil War), and the Appomattox Campaign.  He was taken prisoner near Scottsville, VA on March 17, 1865 and was released the next month upon the Confederate surrender at Appomattox.  He was mustered out in June 1865 at Fort Leavenworth, KS.
The CDV is in very nice condition with a soft sepia tone.  The
age spotting you see
ha
s been exaggerated by d
igital photography
.  "Compliments of Warren W. Jones" is written in period cursive on the back.  The pencil notations on the back are present-day and probably from a former collector or seller.
