Who is this person?

[L Verge]

Man, Mr. Aussie, one has to think outside the box in order to figure out your questions and clues. First, it was Genl. Lee who instructed Ewell to take Cemetery Hill, if practicable. However, the photo that you have shown is not of Genl. Lee, but rather Walter Taylor - who is standing to our right in the famous photo of Lee and his son taken in Richmond after the war. Lee is seated in a rocking chair in the center of that photo.

P.S. At first, I thought the photo was of one of the Lee sons, but had to look up to find out who Walter Taylor was -- Lt. Col. on Lee's staff. The give-away that led me to that photo is the obvious wooden background of the photo - definitely from the basement on the back porch of the Lee home in Richmond.
