This image is a photograph used in the book Auburn, a Pictorial History of the Loveliest Village by Mickey Logue and Jack Simms, 1st edition, 1981, depicting the history of the city and the University. From page 26: Private Joseph D. Robinson of Chambers County posed for this picture as he prepared to leave East Alabama Male College for service in the Confederate Army. He had come to Auburn as a freshman in 1860 after inheriting two slaves, two mules, and $3,140 from a neighbor in Shawmut. He lived at Dr. McElhaney's house and studied such subjects as Latin, Greek, algebra, geography, and composition. Robinson, who lost part of an ear to Yankee shot, fought at Corinth, Shiloh, Vicksburg, and elsewhere. "I could follow pig trails in Mississippi blindfolded," he later told his grandson.
