Three "Johnnie Reb" prisoners
July 1863
From "War Memories" catalog: This view shows three "Johnnies" who were captured at Gettysburg. It is a very characteristic view, and gives a good idea of how the "Johnnie Rebs" looked. They were nearly all clothed in a grey or butternut homespun cloth, and there were hardly two suits alike in a whole regiment; however, "a man is a man for a' that." These "Johnnies" were royal good fighters.
