Description

Marquis Lafayette Gordon, Waynesburg College, Class of 1868 - son of John Adam Gordon and Rebecca S. Crawford. Identification determined in 2014, after David Kent Fonner, author of "All Quiet on the Border: The Civil War Era in Greene County, Pennsylvania," shared research that provided photo comparisons to images included in "M. L. Gordon's Experiences in the Civil War: From His Narrative, Letters and Diary" a posthumous memoir published in 1922, that is now available to read online via Library of Congress. Reproduction from 4" x 5" negative. The negative is not the original picture; it is a picture of a picture. The negative was probably created during the 1930s as a part of the effort by then Waynesburg College president, Paul Rich "Prexy" Stewart, to locate photographs and information for all alumni.
