Searching for Images for Next Volume
Last week, I officially began by making contact with Harrison Mero of the Twenty-ninth descendant’s group. He was extremely helpful, offering to provide me with details about the two soldiers, and put out the word that I am looking for photographs. He also directed me to Yale University’s Beinecke Library, which owns the carte.
I am on the track of a few more images. Seventy-seven are required (to be consistent with Union and Confederate Faces).
If you can help, please contact me! My criteria is identified, wartime cartes de visite of African-American soldiers.
