Most of these photos from civilwarphotos.net are also found throught the Library of Congress website, www.loc.gov which are better cited & many times contain the super tifs which produce the excellent details we've seen in recent months.
Check out the attachment from the LoC version of this photo:
3 of the men appear to be in non-military dress, the two seated appear to be men of the cloth, perhaps chaplains/preists of the regiment, but uncertain.
Interesting none the less...Attached FilesRyan B.Weddle
