After following a link (see below) that was shared by @Mike Serpa in a "Ladies Tea" thread, I discovered what is identified as an early image of General Longstreet. This is the first picture I have seen of a young Longstreet! What do you think?

General James Longstreet CDV. 2.5" x 4", no photographer's backmark, "Gen. Longstreet" in pencil on verso, small abrasion to top layer of image along top edge, else a fine image. This is an earlier image of Longstreet, in an earlier style uniform and before he sported a full beard.
Edit: This picture has been identified on other sites as A.P. Hill. Darn it!!
