Ahreets, 134th NY. Mickle wrote about the "ramble up and over Old Lookout" in a letter to his wife and included a marvelous, if not confusing "key to the picture" mentioning the four friends that accompanied him to the summit. He tells her to "take it to some good artist" and have a dozen photographs of it made for friends and relatives, but implores her to be careful and not let anyone handle it because "case is poor and might break." The cdv in VG condition with upper left corner bent. Photographer "J.W. Black" is known for his portraits of Naval Academy personal taken at the temporary facility at Newport, RI.
