CIVIL WAR IDENTIFIED VIRGINIA CONFEDERATE CAPTAIN / VIRGINIA GOVERNOR NINTH-PLATE AMBROTYPE PHOTOGRAPHIC IMAGE, depicting William Evelyn Cameron (1842-1927), captain and assistant adjutant general, Co. D, 12th Virginia Infantry, a bust-length image as first lieutenant wearing his uniform with gold buttons and two gold stripes on either side of his collar. Housed in a molded thermoplastic case with a tintype of his wife, Louisa Clarinda Egerton (1845-1908), whom he married in 1868. Together with a notebook of research. 1862-1863. 3" x 2 5/8" OA.
Catalogue Note: William Cameron was born in Petersburg, Virginia, to cotton broker Walker Anderson Cameron (1820-1866) and Elizabeth Page Walker (1822-1853). He was elected second lieutenant of Co. D, 12th Virginia Infantry, on June 14, 1861, and on May 1, 1862, he was promoted to first lieutenant. Severely wounded at the Second Battle of Bull Run on September 30, 1862, Cameron was temporarily promoted to captain and assistant adjutant general upon returning to duty in June 1863. He served under Brigadier General William Mahone during the rest of the war, with his rank being confirmed on November 2, 1863.
After the war, Cameron practiced law and began a newspaper career, editing first the Petersburg Index, then the Richmond Enquirer and Richmond Whig. He served as mayor of Petersburg from 1876 to 1882, followed by a term as Virginia governor from 1882 to 1886. On February 17, 1882, Cameron personally led a successful anti-oyster pirate expedition of two boats and armed state militia in the ongoing Oyster Wars of the Chesapeake Bay, capturing seven ships. Later in his career, he edited the Norfolk Virginian-Pilot newspaper from 1906 to 1919. Cameron is buried at Blandford Cemetery in Petersburg. The Library of Virginia holds his executive papers.
