CIVIL WAR 63RD PENNSYLVANIA INF. SOLDIER MEMORIAL

Civil War "easel" style memorial for James K. P. McCullough of Co. A, 63rd Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry Regiment. This chromolithograph memorial was copyrighted by J.D. Carnahan in 1891 and published by the Dux Publishing Co., Chicago, Illinois. It was presented to McCullough by his wife on September 20, 1895. The memorial itself measures 24" x 32" and is housed in its original vintage 29" x 37" frame. Two D-ring picture hangers are already attached making this piece ready to hang. This style memorial was made with a blank center section so that the soldier's service history could be added. McCullough's service was entered and in summary states that McCullough enlisted at Turtle Creek, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania on August 1, 1862. He was captured at the Wilderness but escaped. During McCullough's term of service with the 63rd, the regiment participated in the battles of Second Bull Run, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, Auburn, Kelly's Ford, Mine Run, Wilderness, Spotsylvania, North Anna, Totopotomy, Cold Harbor, and Petersburg.
