Maybe this will help....  Penny T http://www.kidport.com/RefLib/UsaHistory/CivilWar/Uniforms.htm ----- Original Message ---- From: Barney Seely <BSeely@pointeightpower.com> To: LAORLEAN@rootsweb.com Sent: Wednesday, April 30, 2008 11:14:01 AM Subject: [LAORLEAN] Civil War Uniform??? After a family reunion two weeks ago, a relative I have never seen before, told me she had a lot of old family information. I have a picture we believe is my Great, Great Grandfather in uniform. The problem is I can't identify the uniform as Confederate, or Union. I have researched the photographer W.W. Washburn and determined that the "Cabinet photo" was taken at his place on 109 Canal Street somewhere between 1865 and 1873. I have yet to find my GG Grandfathers name on any muster list, Confederate, or Union. Can someone possibly identify the uniform and his medals.
