Nice uniform also!

 

[GELongstreet]

Agreed on both.

 

[D.H. Hill]

How the heck did he eat? It looks like the mustache goes down almost to his chin!

 

[ColorizedPast]

Any information about J.S. Green besides the photo?

 

[UCVRelics]

Very nice photo, Thanks for posting. What is neat about his uniform is the buttons are Union Staff Officers button.

He looks awfully familiar. Wasn't he at least a finalist in the beard contest held here some time back?

Soup strainer "Supreme" . Puts my beard to shame. With that facial cover he could have been a great ventriloquist.

 

[Yankeedave]

Just Shaggy Green.

 

[xlsteve]

Impeccable beard, sir.

 

[Aussie Billy Sherman]

Obviously he took his entry in the Confederate Dirty Man competition seriously

 

[Yankeedave]

Grizzly Adams is low test. next to this guy.

He could do the Blackbeard trick of putting lit fuses in his beard during battle.

I heard that in moments of boredom he used to weave his beard into his chest hair and strum it like a harp.
