This one should be solved so quickly I do not see the need for any clues. Is it wise to stick the carbine into the ground like that?

Good one. Company F, W. P. Lane Rangers of the 2nd Texas Mounted Rifles? I recognize Capt. Samuel J. Richardson in his jaguar skin trousers!

Yes. That was quick. This plate is partly based on a well know photograph. I find it interesting because the artist and author used a variety of arms in the plate. Note one man with two pistols and carbine, one man with revolver, one with musket, one with shotgun and two pistols. Not a single saber or sword to be seen.
