ALBANY ZOUAVE CADETS, 10TH NEW YORK STATE MILITIA
Lucien Barnes, a private in the Albany Zouave Cadets, poses with his Model 1855 rifle musket and equipment. His numbered knapsack indicates his service in the 10th New York State Militia, to which regiment the company served with the exception of a nine-month stint in 1862-1863, when it was activated for federal service. Though Barnes did not answer the call for federal duty, he remained in uniform throughout the war and the postwar years. He left the company as a lieutenant in 1870, and lived until 1910. He is pictured here about 1862. His distinctive cap features a New York state shield, a pompon and piping that circles the crown and band.
