Photographs of militiamen from the Kentucky State Guard on the grounds of the South-Western Agricultural Association in Louisville, Kentucky in August 1860. The salt print images were taken by Louisville photographers Garret & Nickerson. Future Confederate leaders Major General Simon Bolivar Buckner and Captain John Hunt Morgan are possibly visible somewhere in these photographs. Only a year later, many of these men would be fighting each other in the American Civil War.
