Circa 1863 156+ Years Old. RARE : It's often impossible to accurately identify a specific civil war soldier in a photograph. Over the course of a century and a half the information is often lost.

However, someone in the studio of A. Morse, (Algenon Samuel Morse), Photographer - Nashville, Tenessee - wrote the name of this officer in pen on the back.

As Lieutenant Glendening's regiment was in Tennessee during the entire year of 1863, it's most likely that this photo was taken that year. As historians we are fascinated with trying to discover as much information as we can about particular soldiers, and w e'd appreciate any further research you can contribute.
