Subdeacon Joe Posted September 22, 2017 Posted September 22, 2017 Quote Captain Samuel J. Richardson, commander of Company F, 2nd Texas Cavalry (2nd Mounted Rifles), Trans-Mississippi Department, CSA . Captain Richardson was evidently a man of means, appearing in this image superbly armed with a Merrill carbine (2nd Model), an Arkansas Toothpick, and a brace of good Colt revolvers. The good Captain is decked out in chaps made from the hide of Panthera onca, the largest cat in the western hemisphere, described as a leopard on steroids: the Jaguar.
