Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Full-length portrait of a man in uniform with a sword, wearing a hat. "1st Lieut. Alexander Pfeifer Co 'H' 12th Mo. Infty. Vols. Drowned in Mississippi River at Helena Arkansas Aug. 10, 1862." (written below image on album page). The name is misspelled on the album page. Missouri Soldiers' Records and Hewitt (1998) has him listed as Pfeiffer instead of Pfeifer. He served as a Sergeant in Co. A, 2nd Missouri Volunteer Infantry in 1861 on a 3 month enlistment and was presumably involved with the Camp Jackson Affair. He then enlisted as a 2nd Lt. in Co. K, 12th Missouri Volunteer Infantry and was sent to Co. H of the same regiment when he was promoted to 1st Lt.

[edit]
This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain
This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.
Public domain works must be out of copyright in both the United States and in the source country of the work in order to be hosted on the Commons. If the work is not a U.S. work, the file must have an additional copyright tag indicating the copyright status in the source country.
Note: This tag should not be used for sound recordings.PD-1923Public domain in the United States//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Alexander_Pfeiffer,_1st_Lieutenant,_Company_H,_12th_Missouri_Infantry_Volunteers_(Union).jpg
The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
