Description: ANTIQUE MAGIC LANTERN GLASS SLIDE CIVIL WAR GENERAL PORTRAIT IN UNIFORM 1864 Quincy Adams Gilmore (February 28, 1825 – April 7, 1888) was an American Civil engineer, author, and a general in the Union Army during the American Civil War. He was noted for his actions in the Union victory at Fort Pulaski, where his modern rifled artillery readily pounded the fort's exterior stone walls, an action that essentially rendered stone fortifications obsolete. He earned an international reputation as an organizer of siege operations and helped revolutionize the use of naval gunnery. Gilmore entered the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York, in 1845. He graduated in 1849, first in a class of 43 members. Gillmore was appointed to the engineers and was promoted to first lieutenant in 1856. From 1849 until 1852, he was engaged in constructing the fortifications at Hampton Roads in coastal Virginia. For the next four years, Gillmore was instructor of Practical Military Engineering at West Point and designed a new riding school. He was conferred an honorary A.M. degree by Oberlin College in 1856.[3]Beginning in 1856, Gillmore served as a purchasing agent for the Army in New York City. He was promoted to captain on August 6, 1861. PLEASE SEE MY OTHER MAGIC LANTERN SLIDES AS WELL AS MY OTHER LISTINGS WILL COMBINE SHIPPING THANK YOU,JAN
