A nice CDV of Lt. Sidney H. Bridgers, Co. A, 47th North Carolina Infantry.  Bridgers died in Richmond, VA on November 15, 1863 from wounds taken at Bristoe Station, VA on October 14, 1863.  The backmark is "Photographed by E.F. Small, Wilson, N.C.".  A great Confederate image with a great Southern backmark!   Please note - Lt. Bridgers was killed in the war.  This is a CDV copy of an ambrotype that was made of him before he died.  The photographer on the back of the CDV made the photograph after the war.  Small was a Confederate soldier.  Obviously he did not make this CDV until after the war.  If you would like to discus the photgraph with me please call.  I thought all this was obvious but I have found out it is not.
