This young officer stands dressed in his frock coat with sergeants stripes affixed to the upper sleeve and service stripes present on the lower sleeve. The pair stand arm in arm before the camera for possibly his last time. A very nice lock of auburn hair accompanies the image tied with a green silk bow.

Confederate Major Thomas Martin 13th North Carolina Company E.

Absolutely killer ninth plate ambrotype of a North Carolina rebel troop. Stunning view. He is unidentified however that is a back drop associated with North Carolina. This soldier sits dressed in a grey jacket of very light construction. The jacket is trimmed in a light blue tape which runs down the front of the jacket, along the cuffs and collar with dual, pointed breast pockets. He is armed with a comb which he has tucked into his breast pocket and a rather intimidating Bowie knife. A rather dashing looking fellow with his bowler style felt cap with one side pinned up what was probably a North Carolina button turned into a hat pin.

Sometimes history lives in the smallest details. These Civil War artillery hat badges symbolize unit identity and pride during one of America’s most defining eras. Perfect for historical collections, reenactment attire, or Civil War aesthetic posts, they remind us how insignia carried meaning beyond rank. 🇺🇸 Small pieces, powerful stories.

Happy Monday! I am a huge picture person... seeing is believing, right! I love sharing the history of Toledo, Ohio through images and stories and would LOVE your feedback! Are we liking the posts lately? Is there anything you would like to see that I can add to my content? I would love your feedback! --- Today, I wanted to share a portrait of officers of the 111th Regiment of the Ohio Volunteer Infantry. The photograph was taken in Nashville, TN on 2 Dec 1864. The names of the officers has been written in cursive on the cardboard mount, shown here. --- This would have been during the American Civil War, where Ohio provided the federal government with 260 regiments of men, including infantry, artillery, and cavalry units. Ohioans also served in several other regiments from other states, most notably from Kentucky, West Virginia, and Massachusetts, as well as in federal units. These infantry regiments were known as regiments of Ohio Volunteer Infantry. The 111th Regiment Ohio Volunteer Infantry organized at Camp Toledo in Toledo, Ohio. --- www.thegenealogyinvestigator.com --- #toledohistory #toledoohiohistory #historynerd #infantry #civilwarera #throwbackmonday #genealogy #ancestry #thegenealogyinvestigator https://www.instagram.com/p/Cfl5vjnuKTU/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
