About this Item

Photograph of General William Wing Loring, in his Confederate uniform, his right hand holding his sword. "Published by S.C. McIntyre" on left portion of the oval; "Copy right secured" on right portion of the oval. Fine, Confederate General Loring, born in North Carolina and raised in Florida, had fought in the Seminole Wars and Mexican-American War, and had been a member of the Florida House of Representatives. After the Civil War, he joined the Egyptian Army. McIntyre [born c.1816), a native of Scotland, immigrated to the U.S. in November, 1840. Having studied surgical dentistry in Paris, he opened a dental practice; newspapers and census records show him in Florida and South Carolina in the 1840s, San Francisco (CA) in 1850-1851, Nevada City (CA) in the mid-1850s, Alabama in the 1860s and 1870s, and back in California in the 1880s. Some sources suggest a temporary sojourn in Richmond, where he may have taken this photograph, which in format is like his photograph of Lee and other Confederate Generals. See, Hopkins, ROBERT E. LEE IN WAR AND PEACE, noting McIntyre's Richmond oval photo of Lee, with identical publication and copyright information; and noting that "McIntyre's notation of 'copyright secured' on his altered photograph of General Lee was quite unique in the early days of the Confederacy." Additional information regarding McIntyre is found in Peter E. Palmquist and Thomas R. Kailbourn, Pioneer Photographers of the Far West: A Biographical Dictionary, 1840- 1865 (Stanford: Stanford University Press, 2000); and Mike Robinson's "Sterling C. McIntyre's Panoramic Views of San Francisco", in The Daguerreian Annual 2013. Not in Crandall, Parrish & Willingham, Haynes, Ellison, Owen [AL] or on OCLC as of September 2023.
