Wonderful content in this 1/4 plate tintype of a mounted Union Infantry or cavalry soldier holding a Colt Rifle. Note broadsides on wall next to the soldier also. Great content is spoiled by the image being dark. But where do you ever see a colt rifle in a hard image, very rare. A detailed scan is the second photo here trying to show you the detail on this great image.
