2288 Three" Johnnie Reb" Prisoners
This view shows three "Johnnies" who were captured at Gettysburg. It is a very characteristic view and gives a good idea of how the "Johnnie Rebs" looked. They were nearly all clothed in a grey or butternut homespun cloth, and there were hardly two suits alike in a whole regiment; however, "a man is a man for a' that." These Johnnies were royal good fighters.
