| Julian Scott (1846-1901) 3rd Vermont Infantry.

Cincinnati, OH, to Earl Robinson. |

Pencil Portrait. This haunting and
beautifully drawn portrait is marked Orion Caperon along with the dates
1812, 13, & 14. The subject is an older man wearing a uniform
overcoat with distinctive Confederate infantry "I"
buttons. I have found listings for Orion Capron on-line, but none
with Southern attributes. The identity of this man that Scott
obviously found worthy is at this moment unknown. It is dated 1864
and signed. |

along a roadside. Scott was a fifer, but when the newspapers
mistakenly called him a drummer boy when he won the Medal of Honor, he did
nothing the rest of his life to correct the misperception. Unsigned
pencil
sketch on 1866 watermarked artist’s paper, 5" X 7". |
