- Abstract
The article discusses the history and provenance of a photograph in the J. Mack Moore collection of the Old Court House Museum in Vicksburg, Mississippi which shows African Americans outside a white frame building in Baton, Rouge Louisiana in 1863. The photograph is often misidentified as an image of slave wedding that occurred at Hurricane Plantation of Joseph E. Davis, elder brother of Confederate States of America president Jefferson, in Visckburg, Mississippi during the Civil War.
