According to the American Civil War Research Database, the soldier might have been Bolivar, Cincinnatus, Henry T., or Theodore F. Lumpkin, all of whom were in Company K of the 34th Virginia Infantry Regiment. This image is part of the Liljenquist Family Collection of Civil War Photographs at the Library of Congress.
