In Response To: Swindler A.A. 7th Vir. Inf ()

I know he was captured at home while recuperating and acting as a recruiting officer in Rappahannock Co. I personally believe that the men of the 7th Virginia Infantry took a solemn vow never to have their picture taken as long as the South was at war, because the only pictures I have found have been pre-war militia and after the war, and precious few of those. I have heard about several while asking county residents about their ancestors that were burnt up in house fires over the years.-Barrett
