Highlighted cartes include: Standing view of a young boy in Civil War uniform with long hear, his dog resting at his side. The child has a knife in his belt, and holds a musket with bayonet in his arm. He may also be holding a cartridge box and knapsack, although this is difficult to discern. -- Studio portrait of two young men in uniform, possibly Highland Cadets, by Brady. -- Three (3) CDVs of young men in uniform, posed with drums.
