Brothers in Arms?

This is a wonderful image from the Civil War era showing two very good friends or possibly brothers from Dexter, Maine or in that vicinity. Dexter is a central Maine community situated in a small valley along Route 7 that runs north from the intersection of Route 95 in Newport and continues toward the Moosehead Lake Region. It was incorporated in 1816, four years before Maine became a state in 1820. On the back of the photo, is printed "J.F. Page, Dexter, ME." which is the photographer. In pencil is written "Tallest man is Maxwell of Dexter, Me." It's possible that one or both of these men fought in the Civil War, and more than 3o guys from Dexter enlisted in the 22nd Maine Regiment. So far I have not been able to locate the guy in our photo, but I haven't given up yet! Still a great image that I will update someday.
