CDV dates from the 1870’s and depicts Butler in the uniform of an American officer wearing a high collared coatee with cloth epaulettes, a high collard white shirt and leather neck stock.
Reverse has a photographer’s imprint for C. M. LITCHFIELD. Reverse also has period ink biographical information on Butler written by one of his great grandchildren.
A short, printed biography of Captain Butler is as follows:
"Capt. John Butler commanded a company of light dragoons in the war of 1812, and served on the northern frontier. After the close of the war, he, with a partner, fitted out a merchant vessel, of which he was master, sailing from Portland, Me., to the West Indies, where he died, after several voyages, of yellow fever, at the Island of St. Kitts, in March, 1819, aged 37 years." [AD][PH:L]
