John Wareham was my great great grandfather. He fought for the Union in the Civil War. Here he is in uniform. Take note that the image is reversed by looking at the "K" on the hat. The original was on tin and no mirrors were used in photography at the time, so the final image was backwards, or reversed. Once considered, we determined that "Big John" might have been left handed by the manner in which his pistol was placed in his belt and that his wedding band no longer fit his ring finger, so he wore it on his pinky!
