(1814-1879) Graduated from the West Point class of 1837. He displayed a gallant record in the Mexican War. A solid combat officer, Hooker fought in the Peninsular campaign, the Seven Days battles, 2nd Bull Run, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, where he commanded the Army of the Potomac, and the Atlanta campaign. He never lived down the sobriquet, "Fighting Joe."
Wet plate, albumen carte de visite photograph, mounted to 2 3/8 x 4 card. Seated view wearing a double breasted frock coat with rank of major general. His sword and sash are cradled over the back of a chair at his left. To his right on a small table is a pair of binoculars and hanging above him can be seen a captured Confederate battle flag. Back mark: C.D. Fredricks & Co., New York, Habana and Paris. General Hooker was not camera shy and this is my favorite image of him. |
