1st Louisiana Native Guard Photo…Myth…and it is Busted!
October 23, 2009Hat Tip to All Other Persons blog…
This is a great post and article on how some neo-confederates have distorted a picture of Black Union Soldiers with their white officer into a photo of “black confederates”.
Here we have the original photo…
A contemporary recruitment poster…
Here is the fake 1st Louisiana Native Guard photo…
And finally, the website that sells (or sold the photo…appears not to be for sale any longer) the photo…The Great War of the Confederacy’s Rebel Store.
If you want to read about how this photo and its fake were discovered head on over to Retouching History for the complete scoop.
