Sgt. Samuel Smith with his family.
Sgt. Samuel Smith, African American soldier of the 119th USCT, in Union uniform with his wife Mollie, and his daughters Mary and Maggie. Between 1863 and 1865. Photograph showing soldier in uniform, wife in dress and hat, and two daughters wearing matching coats and hats. In May 1863, U.S. Secretary of War Edwin Stanton issued General Order No. 143 creating the Bureau of U. S. Colored Troops .
This image was found in Cecil County, Maryland, making it likely that this soldier belonged to one of the seven United States Colored Troops (U.S.C.T.) regiments raised in Maryland. (Source: Matthew R. Gross and Elizabeth T. Lewin, 2010)
This is the only known photograph of an African American Union soldier with his family.
