Subject: CAN ANYONE IDENTIFY THIS UNIFORM
I have had a descendant of an American Civil War veteran contact me today and she sent me a lot of information; including this photograph that was found among her ggrandfathers belongings. It appears to be some kind of military uniform, but I don't recognize it. Can anyone identify it?
Her ancestor, Alfred Dawson, participated in the war, but she does not know on which side. The family recalls him forever telling stories regarding his exploits during the war. She remembers a number of buttons he once had that he kept from the period, along with a sword; which leads me to believe he may have been in the cavalry.
If you can provide any information I would sure appreciate it. I am awaiting information from another of her descendants who is 84 years old and actually remembers the veteran when she was a small child.
