thecivilwarparlor:Can You Identify Me?Unidentified Soldier In Confederate Uniform With Single Shot Percussion Pistol And D Guard Bowie KnifeThe photo is from Tom Liljenquist — he and his family have collected 1,000 of these images and donated them to the Library of Congress. But the photographs don’t feature generals and other high-ranking officers. Instead, they’re images of the enlisted men who fought for the Union and the Confederacy during the war. And only a handful of the soldiers have been identified. If you recognize a face from your family, a regiment, or a photographer’s painted studio backdrop, it can help LC with identification.[between 1861 and 1865] 1 photograph : ninth-plate ambrotype, hand-colored ; 7.6 x 6.4 cm (case) Photo lightened by TheCivilWarParlorNotes:Title devised by Library staff.Case: Berg, no. 3-275S.Deposit; Tom Liljenquist; 2012; (2010:105-5)Forms part of: Liljenquist Family Collection of Civil War Photographs Forms part of: Ambrotype/Tintype photograph filing series (Library of Congress). -- source link
