NINTH PLATE TINTYPE OF A
NINTH PLATE TINTYPE OF A CONSCRIPTED AND TREASONOUS CONFEDERATE SOLDIER. American 3rd quarter-19th century. Half-length portrait of Orson Litchfield in civilian attire. Accompanied by a one-cent piece stamped with his initials and used as an i.d. tag a swatch of fabric and a October 28 1864 letter (newsclipping) he wrote as a ''rebel prisoner'' in Elmira Prison. In his letter Litchfield tells the story of his conscription into the Confederate Army (Company D. 7th Cavalry) and his arrest for ''treason'' after he commented to an officer that he ''wished every negro in the South would run away.'' He spent six months in prison before Jefferson Davis pardoned many prisoners including Litchfield and he returned to his unit. Shortly thereafter he was apparently fishing beyond the Confederate lines and was captured by Captain Kelley of the 9th Vermont Volunteers to whom he immediately revealed the positions of all of the Confederate posts which were all promptly captured.
