Sixth Vermont, Company K, in front of their camp area at Camp Griffin. The regiment was at Camp Griffin from October 22 1861 to March 10 1862, so the three gentlemen in the front are Captain Elisha Barney in the center, 1st Lieutenant Lucius Green and 2nd Lieutenant Alfred H. Keith, on either side of him. If what I have seen from similar pictures with men identified, Keith is on Barney's left and Green on his right. (facial hair is also a clue; the only picture of Green I've seen, shows him with a full beard; two pictures of Keith have him with mutton chops). The drummer is either Louis O. Christian, or Albert L. Thompson, both simply identified as musicians; since Christian was 16 and Thompson 20, I'd guess it was Christian.

Is this a Houghton picture?
