We regret that we do not have any Civil War era images in our photograph collections—the majority of our early glass negative were taken around 1890. However, Davenport’s Putnam Museum and the State Historical Society of Iowa may be able to assist you!

They served at a prisoner of war camp (Camp Morton) in Indianapolis Indiana during the Civil War. John Drehaus/Drayhouse was from Dubuque, Iowa. Thank you for honoring their service. Do you have any pictures of this regiment? Todd
