Left side of frame inscribed "C. Slocum Watertown NY." Caleb Slocum enlisted in the 35th NY Infantry on 5/9/1861 as a Private into Company A.

Slocum survived the famous battles at 2nd Bull Run, South Mountain, Antietam, Fredericksburg, the "Mud March", and Chancellorsville. Having been born August 30th, 1834, he spent his 28th birthday on the battlefield at 2nd Bull Run!! Lt.
