Wet plate, albumen photograph, mounted to 4 1/4 x 6 1/2 card. Chest up view in civilian attire. Signed in ink on the front mount, Albert R. Anderson, Iowa. No backmark. Light age toning. Very fine. Albert R. Anderson, was a 23 year old resident of Clarinda, Iowa when he enlisted on August 10, 1861, as a sergeant, and was mustered into Co. K, 4th Iowa Infantry. He was promoted to 1st lieutenant, May 12, 1862; captain, March 19, 1863; major, April 5, 1864; lieutenant colonel, June 10, 1865; and was mustered out of the Union army, July 24, 1865, at Louisville, Ky. During his time with the hard fought 4th Iowa Infantry, they saw action at Chickasaw Bayou, Arkansas Post, Fort Hindman, Vicksburg, Jackson, Lookout Mountain, Missionary Ridge, Resaca, Marietta, Kenesaw Mountain, Atlanta, Jonesboro, Lovejoy Station, Savannah, and in the 1865 Carolina's campaign. In describing the ordeal faced by the 4th Iowa Infantry at Kenesaw Mountain, one of Major Anderson's men from Co. K, Private John Arbuckle, wrote the following: "The most severe and trying experience of the campaign were those we endured in the trenches in front of Kenesaw. For 26 days, 17 of which were days of continuous rain, we never had our clothes off, or a chance to wash, save dipping up muddy water in the trenches or little driblets from our canteens; never had a cooked meal, and rarely even a cup of hot coffee. During these 26 days in the trenches, at no time was it safe to venture out of them, as strongly fortified lines were in front and above us, extending along the whole length of the mountain. Our only chance for sleep was to make the best of the mudbedraggled trenches, or, perchance, in the deep darkness creep out to lie down on the water soaked earth. Such was our condition and personal appearance from grime, mud and burnt powder that we were all but a fright to ourselves, the main thing was to keep our guns in good working order and our ammunition dry."   <b>Severely wounded leading the Vermont Brigade in the battle of Gettysburg!</b> (1820-1886) In June 1861, he was appointed Lieutenant Colonel 2nd Vermont Infantry, and in July 1862, Colonel 9th Vermont Infantry. He was later promoted to rank of Brigadier General, on March 11, 1863. He fought at 1st Bull Run, in the Virginia Peninsular campaign, in the 2nd Bull Run campaign, and he was captured by Stonewall Jackson at Harpers Ferry during the Antietam campaign. After his exchange, he was given command of the Vermont Brigade, which he led at Gettysburg, where he was severely wounded. He received his second wound of the war at the battle of Cold Harbor, Va., his third while leading a charge at Petersburg, and his fourth, which resulted in the amputation of his right arm, in the attack on Fort Harrison, Va.
