Until he was mustered out of service in 1865, Hayes would rise through the ranks to brevet brigadier general, garnering a reputation for leadership and bravery on the battlefield. He was wounded five separate times in combat. This is an authentic CDV card image of Union General Rutherford B. Hayes. It is a nice clear from-life image of the general in his uniform.
