Text on back reads - This skeleton photo is a copy from a tin type that was taken by a citizen of Vicksburg, at parol camp near Vicksburg, March 28th, 1865. It was shown at the trial of Wirtz, who was hung at Washington. The soldier supporting the living skeleton is a hospital nurse. The skeleton is a correct photograph of E. W. McIntosh, Co. E. 14th Ill. Inft. He enlisted at Bloomington, April 22, 1861, mustering in May 25th, 1861, at Jacksonsville, Ill. was through 22 battles, wounded 5 times, and was catured at Ackworth, Georgia, till March 28th, 1865. He was helpless for years after he was discharged and was faithfully cared for by a loyal Christian mother. A boy's true friend is his mother.<br /><br />The skeleton shows the average condition of prisoners coming out of prison after the war was over. This goes to show what it cost to purchase the freedom the people enjoy today. Rather than to sacrifice our principles we chose death before dishonor.<br /><br />Mr. McIntosh was covered with scurvy sores till his joints would swell up. He was a mental and physical wreck, and suffers from its effect today. Mr. McIntosh weighed 175 pounds when captured; when exchanged he weighed 65 pounds and could not walk. Mr. McIntosh was on the steamer Sultana when she blew up on the 27th day of April, 1865, seven miles above Memphis. He was on his way home, and was rescued by two colored men after being 14 hours in the water. One thousand six hundred ex-prisoners out of two thousand were drowned as a result of the disaster. <br /><br />Buy one of these photographs to show your children and neighbors how our boys suffered to make every dollar you have in your business. If you buy a photograph you will help spread loyalty, and teach the truth of the land to love the soldier and flag and forever keep the flag waving on the school house.'
