Unusual uniform worn by Brownell. I assume he was a Union soldier, although the uniform appears more of a dress grey of the Confederacy.

Thanks for sharing these wonderful photos

From what I understand about uniforms of the Civil War, grey was pretty much the color of the Confederacy, except a lot of southern men couldn't afford a uniform so they did the best they could with home clothes. most all had uniforms at the beginning of the war, but as it dragged on, that deteriorated. The Union on the other, while mostly blue, had some colors privy to a certain regiments, one of which was a bright red jacket. The Union had the Rebs beat hands down on gear though. I've even heard that towards the end of the war, some Rebs would not surrender and were taken as they threw rocks at the enemy.
I find it interesting that both sides fought to the death, but as gentlemen, meaning they would visit each other's camp a night or two before a battle, or both sides would line a creek bank and sing songs together, and so on, while today there is no war but the North and South seem to hate each other over 150 years later.
Interesting point: I read that football, a violent sport, came about as a way for young men to prove themselves as there was no war in which to do so. Hence the violence; you risk injury when you play football,as you would in war. I'm no historian but I think these things are true.
