Title
English: Private Henry Augustus Moore of Co. F, 15th Mississippi Infantry Regiment, with artillery short sword and sign reading Jeff Davis and the South!
Description
Moore is wearing a grey coat with short, one-inch wide bars across the chest, a uniform based in part on regulations prescribed by the state of Mississippi. He holds a short artillery sword and a sign that reads “Jeff Davis and the South!” Jefferson Davis was a former senator from Mississippi who was inaugurated president of the Confederate States of America on February 18, 1861. The “N” on the sign is reversed, presumably because the photographer wrote the letters in reverse so that they would appear correctly in the image but failed to do so with the N.[1]

Notes Henry Augustus Moore was born circa 1828 and grew up on a farm in Yalobusha County, Mississippi.[2] He married Susan P. Edgar on 24 Dec, 1857.[3] In 1860 he had his own farm in Yalobusha County with his wife, infant daughter Cordelia,[4],[5] and five slaves.[6] Henry enlisted in the Confederate States Army on 8 May 1862.[7] In July 1863 he served under General Joseph E. Johnston in the Vicksburg Campaign with Company F of the 15th Mississippi Infantry. Moore was wounded and sent home to Water Valley to recuperate. He died of malignant fever[8] 11 days later, on August 14, 1863 (or 1862)[9], with his wife and five children at his bedside.[10] He is buried at Mississippi Volunteers Memorial, Water Valley, Mississippi.[11]
