This is an authentic CDV image of Confederate General Pierre Gustave Toutant Beauregard. The image shows Beauregard with his thick mustache and small beard and his uniform from the bust view. It shows the older looking Beauregard. This makes a neat story! Beauregard colored his hair to make him look younger. While the War was going on he couldn't get the color so his hair "turned" gray quickly. It made him look decades older as you can see. Beauregard was one of the most important figures of Civil War. He was in command of Charleston during the capture of Fort Sumter, then at 1st Manassas. Then he went west and was 2nd in Command under Albert Sidney Johnston. He then tried as best he could to defend Charleston and Savannah and then was with Lee defending Richmond. On the back of the card it has the desirable retailer's mark from Baltimore, Maryland of "WM. F. RICHSTEIN". This is a Fine view of one of the South's most beloved Generals. This is a cool CDV with a neat look! Item #: B5572 Shipping Weight:
