[On Sunday, February 23, 2003 I received the following email from Elena dal Pra, eledp@tiscali.it

i write just to give you an information you might be interested in: adolpho forsair's (whom i see listed in your page on 12th cavalry) correct name was adolfo farsari. i found in my parents' attic in italy his correspondance, almost 15 years ago.
his biography is very interesting - he ended up being one of the famous photographers of the century in newly "opened" japan. if you're interested, you can find further details through google, or in several english language photography publications
i'll let you know if i manage to publish the letters - the ones from the civil war and from the states are really interesting, humorous, well written and gripping (as his entire life).
yours sincerely,

He had previously been in the navy, stationed on the Valley City and the Chippewa as a fireman, in the same area of the tidewater.
