Taunton Photographs

H. B. King

This is a CDV of Charles F. Deane. Deane mustered in to F Company, 7th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry, in Taunton on June 15, 1861. The 7th Infantry depolyed to Washington, D.C. on July 11th, 1861. First Sergeant Deane was killed in action during the Second Battle of Fredericksburg on May 3rd, 1863. Based upon this I would date this photograph between late June and early July 1861.
