GDG- Off topic: do you recognize this uniform

[CWMHTours at aol.com]

I couldn't get the website up for the photo so I couldn't see  it.
 
I think you said that the uniform may be from the  1890s/80s?
 
If the uniform is not familiar you may want to consider it to  post date 
the CW.   The Grand Army of the Republic was active by then  and they had a 
number of  auxiliaries at the time.
 
Also, the militia units of the time wore uniforms similar to  the Civil 
War.  There is a lot of similarity in the uniforms of the  American  army in 
the Spanish-American War.
 
Carlisle Barracks might be a good place to contact, as maybe  the CW Museum 
in Harrisburg.  There is a military archive at Ft McNair  which is kind of 
cool.  Lots of odd little documents.  Library of  Congress may be a good 
source also.
 
There have to have been a number of histories of uniforms  written with 
pictures in them.
 
If I were you I'd start researching from 1900 and work  backwards until you 
find the right era. 
 
Your  Most Obedient Servant,
Peter
