J.B. Duman

I found ol' Col. J.B. Duman floating around on the loc.gov website after looking for someone else entirely, and I thought he'd look awesome in color. Maybe I was right - either way, enjoy.

No, you are to good at what you do my good man.

Could he be J. Baptiste Dumain of the Louisiana Militia? We have very scanty records on them.

Colonel J. B. Duman, could not find any records of him!
Another great picture and beautiful work.

Yeah, I couldn't find any records either - thanks a lot.

Hell, Terry, if you can Sherlock Holmes this man I'd be happy - I can't find ANYTHING on him.

Jn Bpte Dumain (I'm assuming Jean Baptiste) was a private in the LA militia, but he only has two cards. Greenwall's brother Henry was a LT in the LA militia and only has one card. Their records may be lost forever.

He may have been a 30 year-old policeman in 1860 New Orleans. If so, that's a start.

He doesn't look 30, atleast not in his face anyway, but the beard might suggest otherwise.

Let's hope his record isn't lost forever.

It would be rare to make colonel in one's 20s, though I can think of a number who did. To me, he looks like he could be anywhere from 28 to 32.

The coat is plain, no braid or facings. I'm thinking he was a volunteer ADC, and many of these men were not carried on the rolls.
