In Response To: Unidentified soldier (Diana Diedrich)

I think this may be closer to Spanish-American ward era. the Steele Bros. photograph studio dates from around the early 1880’s going forward. The family didn’t settle in Waukon until around the end of or just after the CW according to R.I. Steele’s obit (link below)

This website shows an insignia that looks like the one on the hat this soldier is wearing: http://www.spanamwar.com/hatinsinia.htm

I’ve added the photo to your query & added a close-up of the hat in the upper right corner. Hopefully there will be more input from others & the young soldier can be identified.
