CDV photo ablum containing 38 vintage, original albumen photographs on CDV and ten tintypes (seven in paper frames). Most are from in and around Dallas, Texas, beginning during the Civil War and later.

Early Texas photographers were less skilled, had less equipment and supplies. As a result the end product could not match that coming out of the East, especially New York and New England. These images range from very good to poor. But on the other hand early Civil War period CDVs from Texas are extremely scarce and three of the identified images served in the Confederate Army in Texas.

They are Edward Floyd who served with the 29th Texas Cavalry, his brother, Thomas J. Floyd who was a sergeant with the 12th Regiment Texas Infantry, and William Slack who, in his tintype appears just a boy served with the 29th Regiment Texas Cavalry

Surnames: Jancso, Floyd, Robertson, Slack, Peters, Atkinson, Caster, Carter

Locations: Dallas Texas, Kentucky
