Thank you for sharing all of these wonderful portraits. I have looked through many of them and finally want to share my thoughts. We see a portrait of a man who had a name, a family and a story, but now all of his history is lost. I am quite saddened to see "Unidentified Soldier" under many of these portraits. From ashes we were made and unto ashes we shall return.

I'm have my own collection of family civil war photos and so I skimmed these for resemblances. When I hit this I said "is it possible?" 1.bp.blogspot.com/_I3IWwUe_TZM/R2TSQiCg6dI/AAAAAAAAAh4/T2... 4.bp.blogspot.com/_I3IWwUe_TZM/R2TUfSCg6jI/AAAAAAAAAio/qj... Perhaps it's just my overactive imagination. There's also a resemblance to this one: www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/5229223780/in/s... Some pictures of what I think may be my Civil War ancestor, W.E. Bagley, can be found on a blog entry here: armstrong-collection.blogspot.com/2007/12/civil-war-bagle...
