About the Photos
Most of the photos on this site were extracted from reference images (high-resolution tiffs, 20 to 200 megabytes in size) from the Library of Congress research archive. (To query the database click here.) Many were digitized by LOC contractors using a Sinar studio back. They are adjusted by your webmaster for contrast and color in Photoshop before being downsized and turned into the jpegs you see here.

The 29th Reunion of the the 122nd New York Volunteer Regiment held in Syracuse, NY on August 28th 1891. The white hair gentleman sitting front row center is my great, great, great grandfather, Col. Silas Titus, who was the commander of the regiment during the Civil War.

Cool picture,
I am going through my family history files that were left behind by one of my cousins in Canada and a large part of the history files starts with Silas Titus.

I have found another picture of Silas Titus in the Library of Congress collection.
and have also identified two letters written by Silas to the Courier and Union under the noms de plume Scimetar and Cimeter (i.e. Scimitar).
Also a couple of newspaper articles which mention Silas.
Regards
