CDV is a three-quarter seated view of an unidentified young soldier in the uniform known to have been worn by the 34^th Indiana Infantry.

The subject wears a dark shell jacket with light colored collar and matching light tape running down both sides of the nine-button front placket. Also, each side of the chest bears a tombeaux done in a single strand of light-colored cord. The cuffs also have light-colored piping and the left sleeve appears to have a Veteran’s Stripe just above the cuff. The subject also wears a light -colored vest and matching trousers.

Contrast and clarity are very good. Mount has been trimmed across the top and the paper has some very minor surface dirt.

Reverse is blank but for some collector information in pencil at bottom.

The 34^th Indiana was organized in September of 1861. During its service it was shuffled around having served in the Army of Ohio, the Army of Mississippi, Army of West Tennessee, and the Departments of Missouri, Tennessee, the Gulf and West Mississippi.

The regiment saw action at Port Gibson, Champion’s Hill, Vicksburg, Jackson and in what is considered the last engagement of the war at Palmetto Ranch on May 13, 1865. The regiment is credited with losing the last man killed in battle during the Civil War, Private John Jefferson Williams of Co. B who was killed at Palmetto Ranch on May 13, 1865.  [AD] [ph:L]
