Research trip blog, looking at how an artillery unit that formed at Wesleyan University in Middleton, Connecticut as the 4th CT Volunteer Infantry documented its war history as well as learning more about my great-great-grandfather, a member of the unit from May of 1861 until September of 1865.

Robert’s portrait along with three other images in the Samuel Proal Hatfield Album. His picture is quite small, but blows up beautifully. There is a small amount of damage on his nose, but I used Photoshop to attempt to clean it up as well as bring out other details in the original. For example, one can begin to see the crossed cannons on his coat buttons.
