Re: Trans-Mississippi Depot Jackets
Found an intresting picture on page 272 of a book called, "The South Was Right" by Donald Kennedy. Purports to be Pvt Frederick Swint Hood of the 28th Louisiana Volunteer Infantry. Enlisted at the age of 16 and fought at the Battles of Mansfield and Pleasant Hill. Picture is attributed to Mr. Keith Canterbury of Simsboro, Louisiana.
Researched Pvt Hood and found this reference on http://pipesplanet.com/grays28th/index.html
"Hood, Frederick,Pvt. Co. D. 28th (Gray's) La. Inf. Appears on Roll for July and Aug., 1863 (only Roll on file), En. April 24, 1863, Alexandria, La."
Also confirmed it on the NPS Civil War Soliders and Sailors System,
"Frederick Hood (First_Last)
Regiment Name 28 (Gray's) Louisiana Inf.
Side Confederate
Company D
Soldier's Rank_In Private
Soldier's Rank_Out Private
Alternate Name
Notes

I have written to Mr. Canterbury requesting a clean copy of the photograph and any other information he may have on Pvt. Hood. Still waiting for a reply. In the meantime I thought I'd post the copy I have (poor as it is) for discussion.
