A photographic print in the Library of Congress's Civil War collection is associated with James Morrison Hawes (1823-1889), though its caption card records no date and its details are unverified. The card links the record to Kentucky militia, which fits a border state that stayed in the Union while its population remained sharply divided during the war. Kentucky's militia organizations were often formed locally and loosely organized, so material like this can show how men from the state's communities were identified and recorded. Researchers should treat the militia connection as a lead to check against muster rolls and regimental records rather than as settled fact.
