This photo is from the Carte de Visite (CDV) of Lt. George I. Robinson, of Bald Mountain, Washington County, NY. The photograph was taken in 1865, at the studio of George S. Fox, at the corner of Broadway and Second Street in Troy, NY, probably as the Regiment was returning to Washington County through Albany and Troy, and mustering out of the Army in June of 1865. George was the son of Lyman Robinson and Betsey Burnham, and husband of Elizabeth Wright, all of Bald Mountain, NY. George and Elizabeth then went to live in Schuylerville, where George died from the effects of his service,in 1885. A photo of his tombstone at Prospect Hill Cemetery, Schuylerville, NY, is shown elsewhere on this site. Lyman Robinson was the brother of Francis P. Robinson, my gg grandfather. George was later breveted a captain, US Volunteers, for his services as commander, Company A, 123rd NY, during the campaign in the Carolinas.
