Distribution of Some of the Death Clothes

[Jim Garrett]

If I remember, AL was a very slight eater. Usually just a hard boiled egg foe breakfast, some fruit (when available) and often he skipped meals. When looking at his last photograph, and comparing it to the first imges with a beard, yes He has aged significantly......but not more so than a man under the same stresses he went through. A four year war, and the loss of a child, put the years on him, but I don't know if he is much worse for wear than any 56 year old in 1865.

I believe "fighting" Joe Hooker had his uniforms made by Brooks Bros. Reignette, glad to have you in the group.
