CDV of Union General Jesse L. Reno. Mint condition. Backmark of JE McClees, Philadephia. This example is as nice as they come. General Reno was a career Army officer who served in the Mexican Wars and on the western frontier prior to the Civil War. He was a very popular general, who fought alongside his men. He was killed while commanding a corp at Fox's Gap during the Battle of South Mountain, September 14, 1862. A memorial marking the location of his death was erected in 1889 by IX Corps veterans on present-day Reno Monument Road in the South Mountain State Battlefield, in Maryland.
