Photo identification, CDV

[graphage]

Hello, thank you for looking at my post. I am trying to identify the attached CDV's. I believe one may be John Pope (CDV6.jpg) and another John B Gordon (CDV8.jpg). Do you have any insight to who these might be? Thank you for any assistance you can provide.

Sincerely,

Rick

3rd down is a Naval Officer, from the appearance of his hat and what I'm presuming is the Naval Insignia on it; however due to picture quality that's about all I can tell.

4th down appears to be a Post-War image, going off the hair style and general cut of the uniform,.

5th down looks very similar to Pennsylvania Major General Robert Patterson - I've attached a sketch and post-war picture of him.

6th down is Major General Horatio G. Wright; I found a similar image of him elsewhere and have attached it.

It's always a little difficult to tell without larger images? Is there reason beyond similar looks to think these men are Gordon and Pope, like coming from a specific estate or collection? It's just helpful sometimes knowing where they came from.

Welcome. Is it possible to get larger photos with better clarity?

Spot on about Wright (whose signature or name appears below his image on the photo in question); however, #5 is Maj. Gen. Samuel R. Curtis, Union victor at the Battle of Pea Ridge, Arkansas. The others I don't recognize, but am confident that neither John B. Gordon nor Pope are among them. I believe #4 is a postwar and post-1872 image because it depicts a lieutenant, who during the war would only have worn a single-breasted frock; also, his hair style is of the 1870's period. Welcome to the forums @graphage!

You are correct about Curtis; a quick check found the picture! Thanks for the correction!
