Alabama; Elected Lieutenant Colonel May 14, 1861, Commissioned May 14, 1861,

private collector.
I have
pictures of Bakers' lands and properties that he owned, of the courthouse where
he practiced law, his gravesite
and monument in Crawford, copies of his signature, etc. but am shocked at my
failure to get any kind of photo. His Civil War record is also quite sketchy. "
