Sixth plate ambrotype. (Minor spotting and usual abrasions around mat opening.) Housed in a Union case with scroll design (light chipping to edges, some soiling). A studio portrait of subdued Yankee pards threatening all Southerners with wicked knives stiffly raised at the ready. The privates wear regulation four button sack coats and forage caps, complete with equipage, including canteens and oil cloth haversacks. The prominent book on the leg of the soldier at left manifests as the Bible.
