Title A name given to the resource "Army of the Cumberland," 1904 Description An account of the resource This poster is one in the eight great Union Armies poster/map series published by the National Tribune Co. Washington, D.C. in 1904. The Army of the Cumberland poster includes the basic dates and facts (its constitution, commanders, strength, principal battles, and the field of operations), the map of the field of operations, and the portraits of the army commanders. The signature on the poster reads, "This is to Certify, Jos. Littlefield served in the Army of the Cumberland having been a member of the Company C 102nd Regiment Illinois Infantry 20th Army Corps. (Signed) The National Tribune." Founded in 1877 in Washington, D.C. by a pension claims agent George E. Lemon the National Tribune was one of the most influential veterans' publications in the United States, promoting the interests of the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR). One of the more populous Civil War veterans' organizations, the GAR was founded in 1866 in Decatur Illinois and dissolved in 1956 when the last GAR member died. The National Tribune functioned as a GAR newsletter where veterans could connect and share memories. The series of the eight great Union Armies posters started in 1904, and apparently the newspaper sent it by request to soldiers, signed with their name and regiment. Born in Peoria County, Illinois in 1840 the recipient of this poster Joseph Littlefield served almost three years in the Civil War as a private in company C of 102nd Illinois volunteer regiment. After the war he returned to Illinois and married Hellen Crandle. In 1879 Joseph Littlefield and his family that included his mother Joanna, who was 71 at the time, came to Nebraska Clear Creek area, Sherman County to homestead. Hellen died in 1881 and six years later Joseph, now 47, married 24 year-old Lotta (Charlotte) Roberts, and had 7 more children with her, of whom only 5 survived. Littlefield moved to Aurora, Nebraska in 1904 and died there in 1911. After the war Littlefield was very active in the local Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) chapters, always travelling to the veterans' meetings wherever he was. The poster comes from the collection of Terri and Dave Mabon. Dave Mabon is Joseph Littlefield's great-grandson.

Dear sister Lottie a little note to remind you that I have not forgotten your birthday I am so glad to see you looking well and we wish you many happy birthdays to follow. We were glad to have had the little visit with you and your family. So glad to have seen Harry again and also to meet his wife. She seemed very pleasant and interesting. Gill(?) and Verma(?) are such worth while young people. We hope that the elements will not dry them out this coming year but give them Nebraska in general an abundant crop. we too feel very much warmed over ------------------------- the condition of Josephine's little girl and hope that the will be marked im- provement when we hear again. Lottie I talked with our (?)est  Supervisor in our schools about having copies of mothers picture made – She knows the picture well. Thinks there is noone here now who could do it. There was but she has gone. She told megapho- tographes who might be able to do it I will see him soon – and let you know what he has today. A few years ago before the old home burned Ray Reas(?) took a Kodac picture of it I asked him when we were there in June to get it for me. He kept neglecting it and only got it two or three days before it (?) which I think was in September. I thought it was Pioneer History, Built before the Burlington R R came into Nebr. The Stage coach stopped there to lease and ---------------- take mail on their route. Freighters from Nebr City and Plattsmouth on the trail to Denver passed by long (?) (?) Mr Knowles held services there every other week on Sun afternoon and as I have said to our children – it was "Community Centre" without being named such Rays Kodac was very small but you can have the picture made larger if you wish. Lulu(?) had one made for one 7x5 inches. It is a very good picture if you would like to have a picture of the old house I will send you the film. I am enclosing the one Ray had finished. Theo thinks mine is 8x5 inches I went into the house but not upstairs Some changes which were an improve ment. You were in California then ------------------ your visits have been so short that we did not have time to think of nor talk of our doingo(?) . You must come when you can stay long enough that we will get caught up on our visiting. I am enclosing the picture of the old home that Ray had finished. The larger one that Lulu(?) Had made for me shows up better. We hope that you have a comfortable winter and keep well. With love to you and yours- Theodore and Anna Should I address letters to Verna(?) to Aurora or Hampton?

Title A name given to the resource Cabinet Card Description An account of the resource This is a photo of a woman (possibly Charlotte Littlefield) from the collection of Joseph Littlefield's papers belonging to Terri and Dave Mabon. Dave Mabon is Joseph Littlefield's great-grandson. Born in Peoria County, Illinois in 1842, Joseph Littlefield served almost three years in the Civil War as a private in company C of 102nd Illinois volunteer regiment. After the war he returned to Illinois and married Hellen Crandle. In 1879 Joseph Littlefield and his family that included his mother Joanna, who was 71 at the time, came to Nebraska Clear Creek area, Sherman County to homestead. Hellen died in 1881 and six years later Joseph, now 47, married 24 year-old Lotta (Charlotte) Roberts, and had 7 more children with her, of whom only 5 survived. Charlotte's family came to Nebraska from Illinois in 1864 to homestead in Cass County. The style of the photograph is similar to earlier portraits of Joseph Littlefield (<a href="http://historyharvest.unl.edu/items/show/196">Joseph Littlefield, Cabinet Card(2)</a> and <a href="http://historyharvest.unl.edu/items/show/195">Joseph Littlefield, Cabinet Card(1)</a>). The face of the woman is similar to that of Joseph's second wife Charlotte (<a href="http://historyharvest.unl.edu/items/show/199">Charlotte Littlefield's Portrait Photograph</a>), but differences in the eyes and hairstyle suggest that ruling out the possibility of the photo being that of Hellen Littlefield, Joseph's first wife, might be premature.
