Colonel Elmer Ellsworth was the first Union officer to die in the American Civil War. No new biography of his life has been published since 1960--so I am writing one.

OOPS!
This is about the post on July 23. I have erred! This is from 1861, from the Brady studio in DC. The floor is the same as the one in the Brownell photo. I keep learning! Sorry about that. I think it is that he is not in a uniform that got me initially. Oh well--if this is the only error in this blog (other than typos, etc.) then I am very lucky! Mea culpa!
