1860s Col Elmer Ellsworth Fire Zouaves Assassination Memorial CDV Card. Ellsworth was a friend of Abraham Lincoln and well known military tactician. He commanded the 11th New York Volunteer infantry known as the Fire Zouaves. He was killed in May 1861 in Virginia and heralded as the first hero-martyr of the Union, with his death sparking massive northern enlistment and the rallying cry "Remember Ellsworth". This seldom seen card (or CDV) includes an illustration of Ellsworth surrounded by a double-border and the text: Col. ELmer E. Ellsworth. Fire Zouaves. Assassinated May 24th.
Organized from New York City volunteer firemen, this regiment was known for its striking, colorful uniforms and was selected for the first major Union incursion into Confederate territory in Alexandria
