Summary

Three weeks earlier, his brother Oscar Williams, also of the 11th New Hampshire, died of pneumonia at the Army General Hospital in Annapolis. (Source: Matthew R. Gross and Elizabeth T. Lewin, 2010)

The single best source for Civil War photographs is the U.S. Library of Congress, which holds the core collections of original Civil War documentary ... The majority of the ambrotypes and tintypes are portraits by unidentified photographers of Civil War soldiers, primarily Union soldiers.
