14th Connecticut Private Oliver Dart was grievously wounded at Fredericksburg on Dec. 13, 1862. (Image courtesy Alan Crane) A tattered CDV of Oliver Dart was found among papers in his pension file at the National Archives. Like this blog on Facebook | Follow me on Twitter Within a year of his regiment's ill-fated charge at Fredericksburg, Oliver Dart Jr. faced another great trial: a sitting for a photograph at a studio on Main Street in Hartford, Conn. The resulting carte-de-visite, found in the 14th Connecticut veteran's pension file in the National Archives, is difficult to view. Bundled in a heavy coat, the blue-eyed veteran with black hair and thick eyebrows stared at the Kellogg Brothers' photographer. A mangled lower jaw, mouth and nose — the awful effects of a shrapnel wound suffered during the attack on Marye's Heights — were obvious. We wonder how Dart summoned the fortitude to sit for the CDV, undoubtedly evidence for his pension claim. The CDV of Dart was taken by the Kellogg Brothers in Hartford. As he waited for his turn to be photographed that day, Dart's mind may have drifted to Dec. 13, 1862, and the Battle of Fredericksburg. Marching onto the battlefield via Princess Anne Street, the 14th Connecticut came under "a most galling fire" after crossing a causeway over a canal near the railroad depot. Then an artillery shell fired from high ground on the 14th Connecticut's right burst among prone soldiers in Company D. A 3 x 2-inch fragment smashed into the ground, firing sand into the eyes of Dart's brother-in-law, 14th Connecticut Corporal John Symonds, blinding him. A chunk of metal crashed into the arm and face of the 23-year-old Dart before striking a four-inch square, wooden post. Corporal Charles Lyman, lying next to Dart, recalled years later that the fragment surely would have ripped through his head and killed him had it not struck that obstacle. (In the charge on the well-defended stone wall at the foot of Marye's Heights, Oliver's cousin Charles, the 14th Connecticut's regimental color bearer, suffered a mortal wound.) Dart's wounds horrified another soldier in the regiment. "Poor Oliver Dart," he said. "As he rolled over he looked as though his whole face was shot away." In this enlargement of a war-time photo of Fredericksburg, Va., the Rowe House is shown. 14th Connecticut wounded, including Oliver Dart, were among Union soldiers cared for at the divisional hospital there.

Dart was cared for at the divisional hospital there. May 1865 image of Stanton General Hospital in Washington, where Dart recovered from his wounds. (Library of Congress) Comrades carried Dart to a divisional hospital at the Rowe House on Sophia Street. The scene there stunned the 14th Connecticut regimental chaplain. "On the northern porch lay, among others, our Dart, his face torn off as though slashed away with a cleaver," Henry Stevens recalled, "and by his side lay Symonds, his eyes swollen with inflammation to the size of eggs, the sand grains showing through the tightly stretched and shining lids." On the day after Christmas, Dart was admitted to Stanton General Hospital in Washington, one of dozens of military hospitals in the capital. A doctor considered his chances of recovery slim — "wounded in battle," one wrote, "probably mortally." When his older brother George, a farmer, visited Oliver at the hospital, he found the conditions deplorable. A circa-1866 image of Oliver Dart with a bushy beard and mustache. (Image courtesy of Dart descendant Frank Niederwerfer) After five weeks in the Washington hospital, Dart was mercifully discharged from the U.S. Army and sent home to South Windsor, Conn. Miraculously recovering, he underwent an operation on his face at the home of his older brother, James. Oliver — the youngest of the six children of Amanda and Oliver Dart Sr. — underwent a second procedure on his face at the home of his father in South Windsor. "George Dart and his wife were almost constantly with their injured brother," a post-war account noted, "and gave him every care and attention." For three months in the summer of 1863, Oliver also spent time at a soldier's home in Hartford, where he received sustenance from a special cup because of his terrible face wound. In June 1863, Oliver filed for divorce from his second wife, Maria, claiming "a total neglect of all duties of marriage" Nearly three years later, the divorce was granted. Maria was the sister of John Symonds, the soldier who had suffered a wound next to Oliver at Fredericksburg. In December 1863, Dart filed for a government pension; the application was approved, and he initially received $8 a month. In 1869, Oliver married his third wife, Aurelia Barber, with whom he had his only three children. In an attempt to cover up his grievous war wounds, he grew a bushy beard and mustache. "In time he recovered," the post-war account noted, "though the wound was always visible and in later years his mind was somewhat affected, undoubtedly due to the shock and the suffering that ensued from the injury." Life remained an almost constant struggle for the Civil War veteran, and in the summer of 1879, consumption struck down Dart. Only 40 years old, he died on Aug. 11. He was buried in Elmwood Cemetery in Vernon, Conn., next to first wife Emily, who died in 1860, and Aurelia. Have something to add (or correct) in this post? E-mail me here.
