James Ausband Martin, b. 1838, Bedford Co., VA, d. 18, Oct 1915, Forsyth Co., NC , of Company G, 53rd NC Regiment, is armed with what appears to be a .31 caliber pocket model 1849 Colt revolver with a six-inch barrel. He wears a polished cotton cravat, and his six-button jacket is unusual for its tapered cut at the waist. He was captured at Gettysburg on or about 3 Jul 1863 and spent the remainder of the war in prison at Fort Delaware, DE.
