This Civil War family photo album still contains seven carte-de-visite format albumen photos of children, some with period identifications on the pages noting them as members of the Doll family, along with a full standing view of a soldier in uniform with a similar page identification as Leander Doll, who has been identified by a previous owner as Leander Doll, who enlisted as a private in Capt. Baugher’s Company of the 1st Regiment Potomac Home Brigade, which became Co. D of the 13th Maryland. He mustered in as a private in September 1861, and then transferred to the QM Dept and became part of the NCO staff according to the Nov-Dec muster roll and was promoted QM Sergeant and was then detached to the division Commissary Dept in March 1862, but was discharged Nov. 25, 1862, because of chronic rheumatism.

The album has loose covers, separations on the spine, etc. The image of Doll shows him full standing in a non-regulation five-button privately purchased sack coat, cut in frock coat length, posed with hand on hip, wearing a dark vest and trousers, showing a watch chain. His trousers appear to have a narrow cord piping in the outer seam, which would indicate an officer, but he wears no rank insignia. If there is no problem with the identification it was perhaps something he could get away with in the Quartermaster Department. We note that one of images has the local Gettysburg photographer’s backmark of Levi Mumper, indicating the family may have had a local connection here. We find Leander died in 1900 and is buried in Baltimore.  [sr][ph:L]
