Interesting group of three Civil War patriotic items centered on early-war Union leadership and figures, including a Maj. Gen. George B. McClellan portrait cover tied to his early West Virginia campaigns, a Nathaniel P. Banks-related patriotic cover with postal usage and additional manuscript address fragment, and a Colonel Elmer Ellsworth mourning-themed grouping reflecting the national reaction to his death. The lot presents a cohesive focus on prominent Union personalities and public sentiment during the opening phase of the war, combining portrait imagery, political context, and commemorative themes.
