The picture of Cpl. John Harmon Carter was taken when he was serving in the Twenty Second Texas Infantry in 1862 with Hubbard's Regiment. The picture was with a letter written by him to his wife and parents in November 1862. In his letter he tells his sister, Sarah that her husband has died of pneumonia. About 1,500 men in his regiment had died of pneumomia, measles, mumps and typhoid fever and burials were conducted each day. They were at Camp Nelson in Cabot, Arkansas then. I still have the original letter. There is a book about this unit called " Sires and Sons. " that is now available.
