General Orlando B. Willcox MedalGeneral Orlando B. Willcox Medal of Honor Winner Oil Portrait Post-war oil painting on canvas of General Orlando B. Willcox in uniform unsigned 21.5 x 25.25 in. framed 27.5 x 31.25 in. Born in Detroit Orlando Bolivar Willcox (1823-1907) was a celebrated career United States Army officer who graduated West Point in 1847 and dedicated nearly 40 years service to his country before retiring as a regular brigadier general in 1887. Willcox served initially in the 4th Artillery during the later stages of the Mexican War fighting Indians on the Great Plains and during the Third Seminole War before resigning in 1857 to pursue a law career. In March 1895 General Willcox was awarded a Medal of Honor for ?distinguished gallantry? at First Bull Run where as colonel he commanded a brigade consisting of his own 1st Michigan Infantry and the famous 11th NY (Ellsworth??Ts) Fire Zouaves and ?led repeated charges until wounded and taken prisoner.? Subsequently Willcox was held at Richmond Charleston and Columbia South Carolina before being exchanged in August 1862 and promoted to brigadier general retroactive to July 21 1861 (Bull Run). Afterward Willcox was given command of a division in fellow 1847 classmate Ambrose Burnside??Ts Corps and fought steadily at Antietam and Fredericksburg. In 1863 he commanded the District of Indiana and Michigan before returning to divisional command for the grueling Knoxville Campaign. Once more under Burnside he led his division during Grant??Ts Overland Campaign receiving a brevet promotion to major general in August 1864 for ?actions after crossing the Rapidan.? General Willcox commanded the first troops to enter Petersburg following the lengthy siege. Orlando Willcox was twice brevetted in 1867 for his Civil War service (Spotsylvania and Petersburg) and reverted to colonel of the 12th Infantry in March 1869. Toward the end of his stellar career Willcox took command of the Department of the Arizona and ?effectively suppressed the raids of the Apache Indians and for his service in this conjunction received a votes of thanks form the Arizona Legislature.? Willcox was promoted to Brigadier General Regular Army in October 1886 and was placed on the statutory retirement list in April 1887. The general was among the last of the army??Ts surviving high-profile Civil War officers when he died at age 84 on May 11 1907. The general is buried at Arlington (Section 1 Grave 18).

JESSIE WILLCOX SMITH (AMERICAN,JESSIE WILLCOX SMITH (AMERICAN, 1863–1935) 4" x 6 ¼" COGSHILL Christmas, 1922. Printblock of a town square designed by Jessie Wilcox Smith, reads "Greetings from Henrietta Cozens & Jessie Wilcox Smith in a cartouche lower right. "COGS" is an acronym standing for Cozens, Oakley, Green, and Smith, 4 women artists and roommates who were friends in the early 20th century. Henrietta Cozens (fl. 1900-1930s) was a horticulturalist and a friend of the artists Elizabeth Shippen Green Elliott (1872-1954), Violet Oakley (1874-1961), and Jessie Willcox Smith (1863-1935). The three artists met in 1896 as students of the illustrator Howard Pyle at Drexel Institute, now Drexel University. After leaving Drexel, they rented an apartment at 1523 Chestnut Street in Philadelphia, and Green joined them there. In 1902, the three artists held their first group exhibition at the Plastic Club, a professional organization for women artists on Camac Street in Philadelphia. After their experience renting studio space at Bryn Mawr College to escape the summer heat of the city, they decided in 1902 to lease the Red Rose Inn in Villanova, where they lived and worked until 1906. Henrietta Cozens joined them there, taking on the management of the household and the garden. The four women then moved to a farm in the Mount Airy neighborhood of Philadelphia, where architect Frank Miles Day designed a residence that they named Cogslea, a word that includes the acronym "Cogs," standing for Cozens, Oakley, Green, and Smith.

Robert Knox Sneden (American 1837Robert Knox Sneden (American 1837 -1911) Civil War Vignette Watercolor on stiff bristol-type board titled in manuscript The Cochton River. Soldier's Home. Bath. Steuben County N.Y. Looking South signed l.l. and dated Oct. 1904 l.r. ; 7.50 x 5.5 in. Sneden enlisted at age 24 as a private in the 40th New York in 1861 and became a draftsmen and topographic engineer in 1862. He served in the Peninsula Campaign and following his duty went to Washington and was later captured by John S. Mosby at Brandy Station and held in a number of southern prisons including Libby in Richmond and Andersonville in Georgia. After his parole in 1864 he worked for a while as an architect before dying in 1911 at the New York State Soldiers and Sailors Home in Bath New York the subject of this image. It was not until the mid-1990s that Sneden's real accomplishment and life's work come to light. During the war he apparently kept detailed diaries and made a number of sketches which he assembled into an album. Using these as inspiration during the 1870s-90s he produced a 6000-page manuscript memoir of his service illustrated with hundreds of original watercolors of scenes from the Virginia Theater POW camps and more. The collection was ultimately purchased by the Virginia Historical Society and not long afterwards Simon and Schuster purchased the publication rights for the memoir for a reported $355 000. The subsequent book ''Eye of the Storm. A Civil War Odyssey'' (C.F. Bryan Jr. and N. D. Lankford editors) The Free Press New York was published in 2000. While the vast majority of Sneden's works are curated at the Virginia Historical Society at least five paintings have been located in the collections of the New York Historical Society and several of his maps are curated at the Library of Congress and the National Archives. While titled the ''Cochton River'' this painting was completed while Sneden was a resident of the Soldier's Home and where he was eventually to die unrecognized. Accomplished primarily in muted tones of browns greys and blacks this image seemingly reflects Sneden's advanced age and concern with his own mortality. It contrasts strikingly to his earlier works which employed bright coloring to emphasize the action of the War years. Condition: Corners of board very slightly worn partially affecting the ''W'' of Sneden's signature.
