No problem Rawn,
The photogaphers name is Henry J. Allen and was apparently quite popular in Maine... I have seen his studios listed out of Thomaston, ME. as well. It has been sometime since I have tried to research this photo and I cannot remember if I figured out where the "Rural House" was or not? When I get some time I will go back through my stuff and see what I can find?? Side note: Notice also, that it appears to be both the letter "U" and the letter "N" on thier uniforms...

Wow!
That is one awesome photograph.
 The caps. The neckerchiefs. The bibs. The belts. The high top cleats. Has anyone placed a year, or a time slot for this photo? Thanks for sharing Shawn.

Hi Joe,
I agree with you as stated above... I also like the guy holding the ball with his arms crossed. I was thinking 1870s... I am quite preturbed with myself, because as I stated above this I one of my favorite pics of all time and now I cannot find the full size scan of the stereoview (It was a double shot of the same picture). I had both the front and the back??  The image you see above is where I enlarged, cropped and added a border. I will keep looking?

Great job with the stereoview .....

Hello Shawn, 1870's is my gut feeling also, we're on the same page. Also, if I'm not mistaken, we're looking at an integrated team for that period. Now, if we can pin down the location of that Rural House? Not to worry about the missing stereoview scan. I too, am a great miss placer of missing things, and I usually come across them, when I'm looking for something else that I've misplaced. You did a great job with that picture. Joe

There is no Union City in Maine, there is a Union. Maine does have a sense of humor about such places, we refer to Greenwood as Greenwood City in my part of Maine and it has a pop. of about 800. I sent a copy of the scan to an old history teacher friend(baseball fan as well). His initial feeling that it was taken in the Augusta area outside of a boarding house that catered to migratory workers and their families. I'll be going home for the Labor Day weekend and will spend a day searching the area.

Atta boy Rawn
The hunt baby, the hunt ... that's where it's at.
Shawn, when you mentioned Union City, I automatically thought of Union City, NJ. During the Civil war period, the North was naming everything Union something. Go for it Rawn. Go for it Shawn. Now that'swhat I call a UNION.
