Identified Civil War CDV, Union Lieutenant / Captain in 151st New York Infantry RegimentSeated in uniform, Kepi with Infantry horn badge. His uniform is very unusual, reminiscent of other NY Regiments that had custom styles, such as the Zouaves. Several others have researched this photo before, however, they arrived at the wrong identity. I have proven it is not the Henry Williams, Surgeon but rather Hobart William, of Albion, NY. See enhance photo of inscr...iption - it does NOT read "Dr. H. Williams" but rather "Lt. H. Williams". I did not erase the notes, as I did not want to damage. He and his regiment participated in many well known battles. He was wounded at Opequon. I will send electronic files of my research to the winner, or any interested bidder. Glad to answer questions. Inscription: "Yours truly, Lt. H. Williams" Photographer: "Geo. P. Hopkins, Photographer, Albion N.Y." George Hopkins was active in Albion beginning in 1859 and through the Civil War.
