Don said this auction is running now. Maybe someone researching the McCarty family will see this be able to own a treasure! Just found this old photo for sale on Ebay. It has this info with it: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=13960&item=6504276590&rd=1 ID'd tintype housed in CDV mat of SGT W. H. McCarty. enlisted on 7/10/1861 at Camp Boone Tennessee as a private. Camp Boone is said to have been located around Hopkinsville, ky and Clarksville, Tn. both cities are on the border of Kentucky and Tennessee. Camp Boone was also used by Gen. Forrest as a base of operations for a period of time. It was also used as a training camp for the confederate army. McCarty was mustered into Company "C" of the 3rd Kentucky Infantry. it is unlisted what town McCarty came from, a little more research may reveal something. Date of discharge is unknown as well. he was listed as a POW on 3/25/1864 at Paducah, Ky and also listed as wounded on the same day and place. he was promoted to Sergeant, but no date is given. I purchased this image while stationed at Ft. Campbell, Ky (which is in between Hopkinsville & Clarksville) at a antique mall in Cadiz, Ky between Paducah, Ky and Clarksville, Tn. Most of the soldiers from the 3rd KY where from Paducah and Clarksville. The image is super clear with a small blemish on the image to the right of his face but it doesnt affect McCarty himself. He has tinted cheeks. He is wearing a slouch hat and a medium grey uniform with sergeant stripes. His name is written lightly in pencil on the reverse of the image. A Very nice image, one of my favorites!! ============================================= It's up to 297.00 already....ouch!
