Historical note
This
portrait
of
Newton
Cannon
Maney
[1849-1934]
was
taken
in the
Nashville
studio
of
photographer
Carl
Giers
.
Maney
grew
up
at
Oaklands
Plantation
in
Murfreesboro
,
Tennessee
. The
son
of
one
of the
prominent
families
in
Middle
Tennessee
, he was
named
after
his
grandfather
,
Newton
Cannon
,
who
had been
governor
of
Tennessee
from
1835-1839
.
Probably
too
young
to have
enlisted
in the
Confederate
army
,
young
Maney
,
who
was
one
of
eight
children
,
wears
a
Confederate-style
cap
. The
short
,
double
breasted
jacket
has an
elaborate
insignia
on the
sleeves
that
might
be
useful
in
identifying
the
military
school
he
attended
. The
Maney
children
saw
Murfreesboro
change
hands
several
times
during
the
war
. In
July
1862
, the
grounds
of
Oaklands
were
serving
as a
Union
encampment
when
soldiers
under
the
command
of
Nathan
Bedford
Forrest
arrived
to
capture
the
town
for the
Confederacy
. A
Union
officer
wounded
in the
battle
was
brought
into the
house
for
medical
treatment
.
After
the
Battle
of
Stones
River
in
late
December
,
early
January
1863
,
Murfreesboro
was
returned
to
Union
control
.
