Photo of Union Army colonel Edward Cross posing with a group in front of the Tip-Top House near the summit of Mount Washington, New Hampshire, 1862. Cross would be killed the following year at the 1863 Battle of Gettysburg. The man with white beard sitting to Cross' immediate right might be his father and the man with a crutch might be one of Cross' wounded comrades. Taken by photographer Franklin White and originally published as a glass stereoview.
