- Description:
- Louis N. Rosenthal lithograph of the 1st Regiment of the Michigan Cavalry at Camp Palmer. The print depicts rows of tents among trees, with three figures riding horses and several figures in civilian dress in the foreground. "Entred according to act of congress by L.N. Rosenthal in the year 1861 in clerks Office the Eastern Distr. of Penna. Lith. L. N. Rosenthal Chestnut St. Phil. a." is printed below the image. A title and caption along the edge of the print reads "Camp Palmer, 1st Regiment Mich. Cavalry. Col. T.F. Broadhead[sic], Lient. Col. T.J. Copeland, 1st Major W.S. Atwood, 2nd A. Paldi, 3rd C.H. Town." "Co. A," is handwritten on the left edge of the print. "Camp Broadhead[sic] Fredesier[?] lif-M.D., Dec 20-1861," is handwritten in the lower right corner. A lengthy handwritten note is on the verso: our Division. But the Col. had rather keep the original Co.'s together. But we may go soon. I think after the review which has been put off until next Tuesday, we shall be either moved right off or go into winter quarters. We are drilling quite fast-now, preparing for the Review I have the command of the 1st squadron now in drill. The Capt. hardly pretends to take command at any drill, But he's on hand to find all the fault he can. He cannot give a command and he does not try to learn. We have had a rather exciting drill for two or these days, on horseback & much of the time at a gallop or run. Col. B.had never taken command at drill yet, or any one except Major Paldi, and him we have much trouble to understand. I supose by this time you are having a quiet time at home. I wish I was with you. The wind blows hard.
