1:41 What kind of uniform was that?

[k8tb52]

Those were called Zouvares - they were Union uniforms of a unit formed in New York. Turbans and bright red sashes - supposedly in a "tribute" to French foreign legion type fighters.

@LordShadrach They look like Collis Zouaves. 114th Pennsylvania. Hard to say though. There were numerous variations on the zouave uniform. Given the popularity of french uniforms and military customs in the 1860s, zouave units formed in most states of the Union. New York Zouaves have a particular notoriety thanks to Col. Elmer Elsworth and his 11th NY Fire Zouaves. In the winter of 63-64 the 140th NY was redesignated as zouaves as well. They fought at Saunders Field.

@LordShadrach That unit is the 114th PA Infantry "Collis' Zouaves"

@hollister4ev, these photographs are original. Collodion photography started in the 1850's and could produce very crisp black and white images on sheets of tin or glass. Look at the work of Matthew Brady as the most famous example. The "yellow" quality to which you refer usually shows up on what are known as albumin prints which are copies of the original (black and white) on heavy paper which had a yellow color. Sepia photography wasn't invented until later.

hollister4ev: They're probably black and white reproductions of original sepia photographs. Some of these pictures may be from books. Color plates are expensive when you're talking about a published book with thousands of copies, so I can definitely see publishers cutting costs by printing the sepia photographs in black and white.
