This case and frame was originally for Union soldier named Wm. Jaetl (spelling of the last name is difficult to decipher - see photos number 2 & 3). He was stationed at Camp Pierpont in Virginia and has dated the case Feb. He was Company A, 8th Regiment, with the Pennsylvania Reserve Volunteer Corps. This is also written in the case.

It appears to me that someone replaced his photograph with the photograph of the couple that now inhabits the frame. It's possible that the gentleman in the photo is, indeed, William Jaetl, later in life after he married and shows him with his wife. Difficult to say for certain. About Camp Pierpoint: During the fall of 1861, Brig.

McCalls division anchored the right wing of the Army of the Potomac in Virginia. McClellan had sent McCall to occupy Langley in early October. The village was located along the Leesburg-Georgetown Turnpike only a few miles from the strategic crossing of the Potomac River at Chain Bridge. The division established Camp Pierpont on the land surrounding Langley, and McCall set up his headquarters at a local ordinary. Known as the Pennsylvania Reserve Volunteer Corps, McCalls division was composed entirely of recruits from the Keystone State. The division got off the ground early in the war thanks to the initiative of Pennsylvanias governor, Andrew Curtin, who pushed the legislature to authorize the reserve unit after the U. War Department turned away volunteers in excess of the states quota. McCall, an 1822 graduate of West Point, was placed in command of the new division. Following the Union defeat at First Bull Run, the U. Government urgently called up the Pennsylvania Reserves, and McCall headed to Washington with his men. The division ultimately consisted of thirteen regiments of infantry, one regiment of cavalry, and four batteries of artillery.
