Photoshopped

I checked out the book Longstreet's Aide: the Civil War Letters of Major Thomas J. Goree from the Grisham Library, and in it contained some very nice photos that I could have used for my digital project. The first photo was of a youthful T.J. Goree. It was probably taken in his early twenties as a lawyer. This would have been just a short few years before he enlisted in the Confederate Army. The second picture was a family photo of the Goree family. All the siblings were present for the photo including the four brothers and the only Goree sister, Sarah. T.J.'s father had passed away, so they held up a portrait of him. What's odd is that Thomas' mother was alive at the time of the photoshoot, but she was not present. Her portrait was held up in her stead.
