This photo is said to be Benjamin Franklin Nutt Sr. According to this he didn't serve during the war.


I think this is actually one of his brothers either Martin or William. I think this is William however Arkansas Confederate uniforms are outside of my area.

What do you folks think?

Perhaps it is B.H. Nutt in a pre-war militia uniform? All free white men in Arkansas were to be enrolled in the State militia, and many joined uniformed "volunteer" companies.

The militia generally did not wear uniforms, except for the officers...

but the "volunteer" companies did wear uniforms, generally adopting one of their own design...
