Description

Carte-de-Visite of Charles C. Thayer, Company D, 14th Indiana Infantry, Volunteers. Researcher Lisa Bauman, a descendant of Joshua Rice, has pointed out that Charles C. Thayer was a Union soldier imprisoned with Joshua Rice at Andersonville during the Civil War. Along with Owen Thomas Wright (see item # RICE-AN001-0002-0023), these men became close friends and helped each other to get through their days at the prison. Bauman references "Sunshine in Andersonville" by Rev. F. M. Cain, chapters 2 and 12, for this information. Original, professional photograph from N. S. Bennett, 69 King St., Alexandria, Va.
