Another one that is only eligible by brevet ... Rufus Dawes, later Lt. Col. (and Bvt. Brig. Gen.) of the famous 6th Wisconsin Infantry, as a college student in 1859. Found it on civilwar.org.
What a great find if proven to be Grant! Is there anyone that could shed light on this?
Another pinterest find said to be U.S. Grant during Mexico, however the damage is pretty annoying.

I've seen 3 or 4 photos of Crittenden. He has straight hair in each of the photos. Not wavy like the man in this photo. This guy has a nose like Rosecrans.That one of Crittenden also looks like Rosecrans to me....
AWESOME!!! Class of 1847. Dated to 1846; the earliest dedicated photographed portrait of a West Point cadet I know.
A few rarely seen photographs of ACW generals at a younger age.
First Lieutenant Abner Doubleday of future Civil War and mistakenly baseball fame posing with Mexican civilians during the Mexican-American War, near Saltillo, c. 1847. One of the few photographs from the Mexican-American War that features an identifiable person.
The man in the photo above is believed to be 2nd Lt. Thomas J. Jackson in Mexico City or Vera Cruz while serving with the 1st U.S. Artillery Regiment, circa 1847.
Another photograph of 2nd Lt. Jackson.
Lieutenant Ulysses S. Grant (left) and his friend Alexander Hays at Camp Salubrity, Louisiana, 1845.
Daguerreotype portrait of Benjamin Butler with dog, c. 1840's:

Fitzhugh Lee, later Major General of the CSA and USA; dated 1858.
I am sure you are right but I always thought that was P. G. T. Beauregard
