Randall papersNotesNewspaper clipping reads: "Capt. Eli Dickerson - He entered the service with the rank of first lieutenant, but if my memory is not at fault, was advanced to the captaincy of D company upon the promotion of Maj. Downing. Capt. Dickerson was formerly a member of the famous 'Ellsworth's Zouaves,' the crack military company that gave exhibitions around the country just previous to the war. They made people wonder if, after all, it was not Chicago instead of West Point that was going to claim distinction for its military men. At any rate, our regiment gathered in three of those Ellsworthies, and they were all not only good men but they were magnificent drill masters as well. The last heard of 'Dick' he was following a Jackass over Cochetope pass; the jack was loaded with a prospector's outfit, and the whole caravan belonged to Dick. He's entitled to strike it rich, and if he does, I'll never forsake him as long as he has a dollar."; Photomechanical print and clipping mounted on card. Title from newspaper clipping.
