All you Civil War buffs out there. Need information as to where Soldier McGue was from exactly, and dates and regiment.
I am sure the the uniform is Yankee-Irish Brigade(by the emblem on hat) Also quite sure he was from Ohio
Looking for relatives.

Mystery :
Who are this soldiers relatives? Did he die in the war?
Comments about this photo:
Whoa. I made an error. I believe the correct term for the image may be a Carte de visite. They were produced from 1857 to 1920s or so.

I disagree that "most civil war photos are in tin type". I have several civil war era photos that are cabinet cards.

Royal McGue is not the name of this soldier.
"Royal & McGue" is what is printed under photo and that would be the photographers studio name. It was customarily but not always printed on the photo card.

Ah, but under the great coat he has the double row button blouse. I don't remember seeing any WW 1 soldiers with rifles with ramrods. And if you look closely, you can notice there isn't any lever or bolt action.
This is not a contrdiction, but I have several Civil war photos of my great grandfather and none are tintype. I've sent a copy of the photo to Carlisle Barracks for period identification. Thanx for your comments though.

Jack,
I am no expert, but this looks like a WW1 photo, or around that time. Most Civil war photos, are tin type.
