This Carte-de-Visite is nicely identified in period brown ink on the reverse as “Tom Graham” and is backmarked by H. Noss of New Brighton, PA. Noss is clearly shown in a knees-up studio view wearing an enlisted infantry frock opened to show his vest, a pair of light color, likely light blue issue, trousers, and a fatigue cap showing a “101” on the front between the chinstrap and sloping top. He enlisted from Beaver County, Pa, and was 19 years old and a farmer when he signed up on 10/29/61 and mustered into Co. H as a private on 10/29/1861. He was discharged on 8/4/1864. From the date of his discharge he seems to have avoided the debacle at Plymouth in April 1864 when much of the regiment was captured in the surrender of that garrison after a three-day siege.  The corners were clipped for album insertion. Now on an archival mount imitating an album page.

The 101st Pennsylvania organized at Pittsburgh on 12/1/1862 and served during the war in the 3rd and 4th Corps of the Army of the Potomac during the Peninsula Campaign where it was in the Siege of Yorktown, Battle of Williamsburg, and took serious casualties at Fair Oaks.  It was posted to Suffolk, VA, with the 7th Corps as part of the Dept. of Virginia, from Sept. to Dec. 1862, and then to the 18th Corps in the Dept. of North Carolina, was posted in New Bern and fought at Kinston, White Hall, and Goldsboro, and later was in the successful relief of Little Washington after the battle of Swift Creek. It was posted at Plymouth July 1863 to April 1864, took part in several expeditions, served at Roanoke briefly and was then sent back to Plymouth where it was caught up in the siege of the city and eventual surrender of the garrison, with the officers being sent to Macon and the enlisted men to Andersonville, where more than half died. The regimental organization was maintained, however, from those absent from the siege and a few exchanged prisoners and officially mustered out in June 1865.  [sr][ph:L]
