Another great photo!

Question...Why are the guys beside the dead/wounded rebel going the opposite way from the rest? I assume they are not retreating, Are they reloading?

I'm guessing here but they were moving to the other end of the line...

Chewbacca???

Heart's Delight, Blue Grass, Little Breeches, and Battle Ax were popular 1800's plug tobacco. Slang-called many names like chewbacca, chaw. @Stryker65

I pray no one makes the assumption that this in any way looks like what federal infantry looked like in the war. Oof. Sorry to be mean.

only if they were all liquored up......oh wait that was the high ranking Officers not the enlistedmen

I dunno what y'all are seeing, but I see an advance made, with one end of the line being turned and bolting.

With an odd Zuave, saharpshooter and a seriesof weird headgear in the mix.
