Papers, 1862, 1904
Scope and Content
The Louise Testerman Papers contains two photographs collected by Testerman: one of John P. Donaldson and Noyes Rand, 22nd Virginia Regiment Infantry soldiers in the Confederate Army of the American Civil War; and another of John S. M. Parker, also a soldier. The collection also includes a copied postwar description of the encounter between John Donaldson, his brother Francis, and Rand. The description relates the story of the brothers, Francis' capture and parole, and the postwar meeting between Francis and the author, Noyes Rand. The other soldier appears to be unrelated, but the photograph was taken in the Donaldson's home town of Philadelphia.
