Hello

Just found this subforum and thought I would start a thread.

 

I will post some of mine, mostly cabinet cards a couple to CDV's, mine are of soldiers wearing marksmanship medals

 

I have posted some on other threads and sorry if you get tired of them.

 

If you have any post them

 

Sorry if posting multiple posts is not cool but most of my images are large

 

 

this is 11th infantry group and some wearing marksman buttons

A wonderful collection of early images. Thanks for posting. Bobgee

Great visual documentary, thanks for sharing.

What a GREAT collection of images from a fascinating--and often misunderstood--era. Thank you SO much for sharing them and inviting others to post. I suspect we will be seeing some great images.

 

Great idea for a thread. I have a few to post, but I need to scan them first. In the meantime, here is one from my collection; an Indiana National Guard officer wearing the 1892 coat.

 

 

Fully agree this is a great thread. Really like the two Manila based trooper image.

Thanks guys

I will post more when I have free time

Well here are some more

 

An unknown shooter

 

A later image of Partello

 

A Boston soldier with an Artillery medal

 

and another Artillery medal

 

A Fort Yates Dakota Terr Musician

 

an 1880's family photo

 

and another 11th infantry Fort Sully Family

notice the father does not look amused

 

I like this one due to the photographer and location

 

an unknown Fort Niobrara soldier has his riflemans knife and some revolvers in belt

 

this one has an unusual blouse??

 

this one is 4th Cav and has the experimental carbine

 

A little later and with the trial Lee rifle

 

and another Manila CDV unusual blouse and what could be stable pants

 

an unknown shooter

 

 

well enough for now

Received this one from a friend who is in the process of registering and will post some of his when the Admin ok's him

 

So here is an interesting one, you normally see the marksman and sharpshooter medals with the early Laidley buttons but this one has the later rectangular Blunt marksman buttons

 

 

What a fantastic collection! Thanks for showing.
