Man, I was just gonna say "No" but then I had to do a double-take.  I gotta admit, "it" does have some features that sure look female.

Outdoor shots like this one are my favorite type of Civil War images. I have owned a few over the years, but not as nice as this one Rob!

i looked through this forum and didn’t see any mention of this site. It was being discussed on C-SPAN, and is meant as a database to identify the individuals in CW photos.

 

It's a nice start (photo sleuth) but imperfect.  I did manage to positively identify one of my CDV's with it though.  As the data base builds it will get even better.

I’ve wondered about it and if it’s any good. I looked at the rules to join and decided not to.

Any suggestions for putting or displaying CVDs in binders or the card style sheets? I know they are an odd dimension, asking for a friend. Thanks.

I'm new to this forum.  thought I would share this real photo (approx 5 x 7") from a local Estate sale.  The family identified this Confederate Officer as Captain James William Clark Smith, of the 16th Alabama regiment Company H.

Lt. James B S Alexander, West Point Class of 1856. This photo was taken while he was a Lt in the US army ca 1860. He resigned his commission and joined the Confederate army in 1861 and died of fever before getting a chance to shoot. My favorite, failed, traitor.
