Michael, Greg
To further confirm the ID as the 17th Va. the following;
Describing the 1896 Reunion Parade The Richmond Dispatch
of July 3rd states; R. E. Lee Camp #2 of Alexandria "displayed the
17th Virginia Regiment Flags, both State and Battle. both of which
were carried through the War."
Michael, I had always thought that the date of this photo was "circa"
How did you date it?
