I think I's like to start off with my only photograph of an Identified Civil War soldier. Captain Davis Collins, of the 3rd. Michigan Cavalry, Company K. His own handwriting, as the handwriting of another man are on the back of the photo.
I'd like to ask a question or two, as I am not as well educated on uniforms and accouterments as I am projectiles. Is that a model 1840 "wristbreaker" saber? He has something that looks like a Hardee hat on the table beside him. Are the emblems original to the hat? They look kind of odd to me. All in all, a cool photo.
