Your image dates from the 1880s- 90s time period.
Looks to be a Mass militia member. Too bad about the crease in the card.
Thanks for sharing.

I have the front of the picture. Could you tell me more?
Not really-- no database for this era of service.
I can tell you that the black marker writing is much later than the card itself.
May find something on ancestry?

More photos will be posted soon thank you. :)
Thanks Takeyourtime for pointing out my error.
Your welcome Gilian
So is he from the civil war? Or part of the ancient and honorable Massachusetts artillery company? Scott
The image is from the 1880s- 90s, so about 20- 30 years after the Civil War.
Take a look online to match the uniform-- could be one of many state units.

How would I go about that? Scott
Online searches should yield some results.

It's difficult to find the uniform.
Good luck with the search.
