I'm hoping to find out if someone can point me to any media that would illustrate the flags, uniforms, insignia, etc., of the Indiana 100-day regiments - photos of originals, reproduction items, etc.
My third-great-grandfather (Samson Thomas) was a Private in Co. D of the 137th, and I would like to be able to display his discharge certificate with some images that would demonstrate specific context of his service.
I haven't had much luck finding any photos or images online for the 137th, or for many of the 100-day regiments, and I'm hoping that someone with more detailed knowledge of Indiana's Civil War history might be able to help me.
Much thanks for your time. :)

You might search for photos associated with other members of the same regiment.

He was born in Orange county, May 12, 1840; joined the army on reaching the age of fifteen, in the One-hundred-and-Thirty-seventh regiment, which was enlisted for one hundred days. After returning from the service he attended the state university. He is prominent in the Masonic order, having been grand master of the state. He is engaged in business. Personally, he is very popular, and two years ago made a good race for the office for which he has now been renominated."

Married Rosanna Stucker 1780's in Woodford Co. KY. Moved to Clark Co. IN (Bethlehem) 1802. I am descended from his son Daniel.
