A fine outdoor image of this captain sitting on a small barrel in camp. Wall tents are visible in the background.

Carswell McClellan is in his officer’s uniform with his sword across his leg and holding a large pipe in hand.

Image is clear with the contrast being just slightly light. Photo is on a typical double-ruled mount.

A terrific ink inscription is on the back, “Compliments of / Cars McClellan. / Capt. & A.A.F. / Actg. A.D.C. Hd. Qrs. A. of P. / Dec. 1863.” There is a small photographer’s backmark printed in gold which is hard to read due to the bold inscription, “GARDNER / Washington, DC”.

He was graduated from Williams College, 1855; served in the Civil War as assistant Adjutant-General, 1st Division, Cavalry Corps, Army of the Potomac; civil engineer on western railroads, residing in St. Paul; published, "Personal Memoirs and Military History of U.
