M.A. and G.A.G. Coppens (1861, from Cowan&#8217;s Auctions)
This stunning piece is a rare image of two Louisiana Zouaves, one of whom was killed in action at Sharpsburg. It is among a trove of pictures of &#8220;my boys&#8221; I&#8217;ve harvested from the web in the last few days - thanks to Cowan&#8217;s, Heritage, and Museum Quality [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Officers of the US Regular Army units present on the Maryland Campaign of 1862 have a staunch advocate in one of our loyal readers. He has been poking me to make up for obvious deficiencies in my understanding of those present, as seen in the Antietam on the Web database.
