1862-1863 CDV of student with books. Private Collection.
A Civil War era nice little CDV of a literate boy posing with a few books on a small round table by him. He’s wearing the classic baggy coat of the period, but this one only has one round button by the collar.
Photographer: D.D. Wright & Son, Hamilton.

Unless he was from a wealthy family and bought his way out. :) There’s a Hamilton in Ohio. My Civil War knowledge is sketchy and I don’t know if Ohio was considered Confederate or not.
