The private in this 1/9 plate ambrotype is seated with his musket across his chest. He wears a frock coat and a kepi along with a US plate and leather belt. His cross belt
has a brass eagle plate and a cartridge box. His rifled musket is cocked and ready to fire! The image is crisp and clear and well focused. The verbal I.D. associated with this
image is Shoemaker from Defiance, OH. The 21st Ohio was one unit that was formed out of Defiance and there were a large number of Shoemakers that served in the 21st. Someone with
more skills than me may be able to positively I.D. this soldier. The image comes in a 1/2 leatherette case. #11519=$475.00
