Portrait Gallery
Please Note: As we identify multiple regiments for soldiers, we are merging the records. Until this is complete, occasionally the rank of the person named below might not be the rank he is wearing in the photograph. Until we identify other regiments soldiers have served in, we note that a photograph exists for him, but it may not be for this particular regiment. For instance, any photographs noted from the Italo collection, are as identified in the 1st Vermont Brigade, (2nd through 6th, and 11th Infantry Regiments). If a soldier in one of these units served in the 1st Vermont Infantry, he'll be listed on the photographs page for that regiment as well.
To find out more about the collection a photograph belongs to, click on 'Source' at the end of the line.
