Does anyone recognize who this might be?

Yeah, go take them to Louis T's grave.

Seriously, don't worry....they're with their wonderful parents (best people in the world, IMO).

He appears to be a senior officer, most likely a Major or Lt Colonel.

Was my guess as well. Bars would be almost detectable. A bird wouldn't, while a star of two would show something.

This really bugs me because I feel like I recognize him. I'm going to have to try to track him down.

Go for it. It's bugged me all day!

I agree and have wracked my brain for names to throw into a Google search or the Library of Congress. Nuthin'! Sometime someone will put a name to that face.

Why the image existed in my memory: a photo just like it appears in Thunder Across The Swamp by Donald Frazier.

No, no... That's not it...
Good catch Ned! And thanks! I can sleep tonight!

Less than 24 hours and we have an answer! Great job, Ned! I recognized the name as soon as you posted it....but you know, all those Yankees look the same. Well done, CWT!

I bow to your expertise. Numerous times. Duh. Well, that explains why he looked familiar! (And to think I was planning to re-read it this summer in preparation for this year's Jefferson symposium!)

You know its a good book when the pages are still lingering in my memory two years after i read it.

Imagine finding this gentleman adorning a coffee shop! That is so very neat. I always check out photos in cafes and little joints - it's truly surprising who showed up where. Ernie, our little burg's (in)famous greasy spoon, has photos of a lot of stars of by-gone days. Nobody knows they used to be regulars - coming up for hunting and fishing vacations. Like the Forrest-Cumming House in the historical district. Yes - that Forrest's cousin and that Cumming, who raised Stonewall!
