James Longstreet

[Cornpone and Molasses]

I'll have to have a look in some of my books. These photo's may be tucked away in one of them with all the info.

War horse, are there any good books on General Longstreet that you could recommend?

Absolutely Jeffery Wert's biogeography James Longstreets the Confederacy's Most Controversial General is an excellent study. I could not give it a higher reccondation.

Compared to this shot, he does look a lot older
Probably after he lost his children to Yellow Fever?

Excellent! War Horse thank you for the recommendation.

Where did you find a large version of the earlier Longstreet? I've looked everywhere and all I can find is a small low quality version.

If I remember correctly, a client, the one who commissioned it, actually bought the original file. I was unable to find any high quality versions myself, which is why I was ecstatic when he showed me the original and wanted to pay me to work on it!

Sorry I couldn't help any more.

Dang. Can't believe LoC or the National Archives doesn't have this photo that we see everywhere in relation to Longstreet.
