West Virginia became a State as a result of the Civil War and efforts to Secede from the Union by Virginia. Here is a rough CDV of an officer taken at Partridge's Gallery Wheeling West Virginia with the accompanied revenue stamp to help pay for the costs of war. BTW what rank is this officer and can you
tell anything else from the uniform?
