I lived in Frederick Maryland for 45 years. It was always my understanding that these troops were part of the Confederate Army marching north on Market street just past the crossroad junction with East and West Patrick street in 1862. If so they were possibly part of Jacksons command. From what I've read his boys camped to the North of town. Could be wrong, but that's what I have always believed.
Howdy, neighbor! I've lived in Frederick Co. for almost 30 years, first in the city and now near Middletown. 4 years ago there was a thread on this forum about this photo, and I posted some pictures of the street where it was taken, historical markers, and a picture of some reenactors who tried to recreate it. You will recognize these locations:
