[CIVIL WAR]. Sixth plate tintype of a double-armed soldier tentatively identified as James M. Andrus, Company G, 1st New York Infantry.

Sixth plate tintype. (Exceptionally clear image.) Housed under mat, glass, and preserver; no case. With a modern, inked note suggesting that the subject might be "J. Andross, Keeseville, NY." However, research suggests that the subject might be 18-year-old James M. Andrus (1842-1910), from Addison, NY, who enlisted in Company G, 1st New York Infantry on 12/31/1861 and was later discharged for disability 9/27/1862. The 1st New York was issued P53 Enfield Rifles in early 1862 and the young private carries that weapon in addition to a short sword.

Andrus later mustered into Company G, 2nd New York Veteran Cavalry 10/10/1863, serving until 11/8/1865 when he mustered out at Talladega, AL.
