Photos of Soldiers from the 77th Illinois Infantry
The 26 carte de visites in this collection were apparently taken in New Orleans. None are dated and the revenue stamps have been removed from all but three. The photographers were Lessons, Swymmer, T. Lilienthal, Anderson & Turner, and A. Constant. On several photos the photographer is not indicated.
The following information regarding the soldiers is taken from the Report of the Adjutant General of the State of Illinois, Volume IV, Springfield, IL, 1901, and History of the 77th Illinois Volunteer Infantry, September 2, 1862- July 10, 1865, W.H. Bentley, Edward Hine Printer, Peoria, IL 1883.
