This photo was taken in late summer 1863 at Fort Warren Prison off Boston. Some of these men are crewmen of the Caleb Cushing and the Tacony, Charles W. "Savez" Read, commander. The previous summer, some of these men served on the CSS Ram Arkansas on the Mississippi River. At least four of those men are identified here. Here, the photo has been cut in
two parts. |
