  1. Very interesting- Mahone never really changed from the war years very much! Probably wouldn’t have recognized Breckinridge….

  2. I hadn’t realized Breckinridge grew out his beard as much as this portrait depicts him. Longstreet’s post-war beard changed his appearance greatly, and he looked like someone else who was famous…but that someone I cannot place. Suggestions, anyone?

  3. Longstreet’s post war facial hair made it difficult to recognize him. Completely different look.
