GAR Medal II by hjbenson

GAR Medal II

Mary @m9f9l gave me my get-pushed challenge this week to "a portrait that uses anything but the face" The portrait is of my 2nd great grandfather who fought an Indian uprising during the American Civil War. One of his sons went to Oregon and married the first european female to be born in Lane County.
Mary @m9f9l I figured I would do one with myself and explain my Oregon connection

Cool! Being me, I had to look that up :-) So his wife's name was Mandely, what a neat name.

Recognise that hat - not on the portrait as he hasn't got one! He looks as if he has long hair!
