W.H.H. McCall was born in 1838 in Philadelphia, PA. He enlisted on 12 Jun 1861 at Harrisburg, PA, as a sergeant in Company D of the the 5th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry Reserves. During the course of three years, he moved up through the ranks from Sergeant to Lieutenant Colonel. This autographed photo was taken while he was a Captain.
On 3 Sep 1864, as a Lieutenant Colonel, he was assigned to the 200th Pennsylvania Infantry. At that time he was 23 years old. He took part in the Battle of Beecher Island, where he received a bullet wound to the neck. In March 1865, he was given the rank of Brevet Brigadier General "for valuable and meritorious service in the assault in front of Ft. Sedgwick, Virginia."
He was on the detail that guarded John Wilkes Booth and the other Lincoln conspirators. He was honorably mustered out on 13 Jul 1865. His later life was spent in Prescott, AZ where he was a Deputy U.S. Marshal in Arizona Territory in 1878 but he was mainly a miner and died a poor man.
