A nice CDV view of a young Union officer paired with an 1866 order bearing his name. The officer is Lieutenant Richard D. Andrews of the 21st Missouri, who joined the regiment at its formation in early 1862—just in time to participate in the Battle of Shiloh. Andrews is seen in the CDV wearing a dark blue frock coat and trousers. On the reverse is the backmark of the American Portrait Company along with two revenue stamps. Also on the reverse and written in period ink is “R. D. And...rews / Mark, Davis Co. / Iowa, ” Davis County being where Andrews settled after the war. The carte is in very good condition as shown. The document is an order written on behalf of Lieut. Colonel Joseph G. Best by the regiment’s adjutant, Lieutenant Stephen Hall. It reads:
