Thoughts on this CDV would be appreciated.

Cool image, looks like a military school cadet. Is there any other known photos of KMI cadets to compare uniforms?

I am sure there must be images of other Kentucky Military Institute cadets from various eras.

I did a quick search and did find a couple images with similar uniforms dated 1881, running out the door for work, if nobody beats me to it I'll find them again and post a link later.

My Uncle went to KMI. I have to check their site and see what I can find.

Click on the gate and then click on uniforms. This site copyrighted so didn't want to copy anything. It shows uniforms from beginning until they closed.

That was the time frame I thought this image might be from (1880s). Without a bit of research I do not know what the Cadets wore during the Civil War era.

The CDV design/style is very 1860s.

I am getting a block on the website. Do you see a uniform that looks similar?

I have been allowed in since my Uncle went there. They gave much info on him. I will relook at uniforms.

They actually don't have 1860s uniform. They do have some information. There were 2 different hats. One more for dress and other everyday. The coat they describe is different. This uniform you have pictured looks more like ones after Reconstruction.
