Can Anyone Help?

Located a couple of old photo albums and have identified a number of soldiers to this point. Is there anything distinctive about these two that could lead me to who they are? Through some research I have discovered that the man on the left was a Captain and the other was a Major General. Most of the soldiers were from Ohio or NY so that narrows it down a bit...

What's the guy in the right wrapped in? A great coat?

I've seen this Grant image used on other photos. How would you know if it was an original?

Your Grant photo appears to be a retouched copy of the one shown below. Photographers frequently copied the work of others to add to the number of images they could sell as their own.

Appreciate all the help up to this point. Another few that I'm not sure if anyone would be able to help with. The man on the left looks so familiar to me. Keeping searching for CEO De'Meritt and can't come up with anything. Does this have a meaning that I'm missing? Pic on right is hard to make out but he looks like someone important...

Well, it's GEO (i.e. George), not CEO. Give that a whirl.
