Forty Civil War era carte-de-visites collected by Leander Frisby, a West Bend, Wisconsin resident, who was politically active in Wisconsin. The carte-de-visites are all of famous generals, officers, and political figures, including generals Robert E. Lee and Ulysses S. Grant, President Abraham Lincoln and abolitionist John Brown. Also included in the collection are carte-de-visites of officers from the 28th and 12th Wisconsin Infantry Regiments. The carte-de-visites were originally placed in an album, which was later dismantled. The carte-de-visites are now in alphabetical order. Copies of the original covers of the album, containing more information about Leander Frisby and the donation of the materials, and a list of the original order of the images in the album are included in the manuscripts. A container list of the images is also included with the manuscript materials.
