Officers of the 43rd Wisconsin Infantry |
| Description: |
Officers of the 43rd Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry, with Colonel Amasa Cobb seated at the center. It is likely this picture was taken when the field and staff were mustered out in Nashville, Tennessee, in June, 1865. Cobb had been colonel of the 5th Wisconsin, which he resigned upon election to Congress. As a result he was absent from the 43rd when Congress was in session and during an appointment to brigade command, but returned to be with the regiment in Nashville when the field and staff were mustered out in June, 1865. It is likely this photograph was taken at that time, for Lt. Colonel Byron Paine who was command of the regiment during most of its service, is not in the photograph. He had resigned several weeks earlier because of family bereavement. Of the others in the picture only Major Samuel S. Brightman, in the double-breasted uniform behind Cobb, can be definitely identified. The man to Cobb's immediate left is thought to be Surgeon C.C. Hayes. The man not wearing a uniform may be the chaplain, John Walworth.
