Post-Civil War group photograph, circa 1890, of either a Grand Army of the Republic encampment or a reunion of the 6th Missouri Cavalry (US). “T. Hodge Jones” is written on the back of the photograph, and Hodge probably appears in this image.

Thomas Hodge Jones enlisted in Company A, 6th Missouri Cavalry on August 12, 1861, and was mustered out on August 18, 1864; he died on April 24, 1911.

The 6th Missouri Cavalry fought at the battles of Pea Ridge and Prairie Grove, and in the Vicksburg and Red River campaigns.
