Nice chest up CDV of a Confederate officer wearing a light-colored, high collared, double-breasted frockcoat. Under close examination the two horizontal bars of a 1st lieutenant can be seen on the collar.

Contrast and clarity are very good. Mount and paper have been trimmed.

Reverse has a photographer’s imprint for GURNEY’S…NATCHEZ. Written over the imprint and covering the reverse is a period pencil ID of “CAPT. ADOLPHUS MEYERS” along with some collector information in pencil at bottom.

Research failed to reveal a captain bearing this name in the Confederate army. There was an Adolphus Meyers who served the Confederacy as a private in the Mountain County Company Missouri Militia. He appears on the roll of prisoners at Alton, Illinois in July of 1862. The record shows he was captured December 19th (1861) and released February 27th (1862.) Perhaps he had further service at a higher rank. If so the records have been lost. [AD][ph:L]
