I'm looking at the American Civil War forum again since it's such a treasure trove.
So many people are trying to figure out if this one blurry af photo is Grant but it's so hard to tell because of how blurry it is. I think it'd be a great idea to try and photoshop restore it (unfortunately I don't think I'm experienced enough to try...and Grant or whoever it is will be starting at me with scary cold blue eyes the whole time [my username was deliberated on very carefully])
Someone posted a photo of potentially Stonewall Jackson during the Mexican-American War. Personally I have not seen enough photos of Jackson to make an argument for or against it being him.
OP says: "Is this a photo of a young Jackson? I tend to believe that it is, although I've only seen it recently here on the forum and lacking in attribution as to where the original can be found... The war with Mexico in 1846 which coincided with Jackson's graduation and commissioning as a Second Lieutenant in the artillery branch of the United States Army was likely the first opportunity for him to have his "likeness" taken. Supporting the identification of the image as Jackson in Mexico are of course the non-regulation headgear, but also the white buff saber belt supporting the regulation Saber for the Light Artillery, though it appears to be an enlisted model rather than one for an officer... It was not unusual in either the Mexican or Civil War for officers to carry enlisted men's swords and sabers, especially in the South and while in the field."

LOOK AT HIS EYES!!!! The legend of old Blue-Light is true! If judging by his eyes alone I think the glimmer in his eyes is definitely a clue. Also, lovely hat and saber here. Notice the pinky ring. Maybe it is a class ring following his previous graduation at West Point? According to West Point, class rings began as a tradition in 1835, so it definitely could be so!
