Shoe Shine Boy

Shoe Shine Boy

 

Here we present an historic image of 7th New York State Militia, Camp Cameron, D.C., 1861. The picture shows a boack boy shining a pair of boots belonging to one of the soldiers. The boy is likely a former slave. It was taken between 1861 and 1865.

The image shows Soldier, holding bayoneted rifle, standing full-length in front of tent, African American male seated beside him, and others in tent.

We have created this collection of images primarily to serve as an easy to access educational tool. Contact curator@old-picture.com.
