Dr. Thomas Jefferson Pitchford, who served in the North Carolina State Senate, surrounded by his six sons - two of which died in the Confederate Army. The stories these men could tell!

The father was nice looking, the son to his right (if you are looking straight at the pic only) looks like he would have needed glasses badly.The son in the middle up above seem to have somewhat of the same issue but, not as drastic. Not sure this could be corrected completely at the time, probably kept him out of serving.

Racism isn't only below the Mason-Dixon line..."if this war was over slavery I'd of gladly fought for the other side" - U.S. Grant, Commanding General of the Union Army and later President...
