I resisted the urge to go further OT when I first read this-- but
curiosity is killing me. Was there an organized effort to get
pictures of the surviving Hessians up there like Hillard's, in the
states, where he went [on his own dime] across the country in the mid
1800s photographing [what he thought were] the last 1/2 dozen
veterans? Or was he one of the few who had portraits done?

That's a slightly different study than I've been doing.
I don't know how 'regular' it is-- but the Library of Congress'
American Memories Collection has more treasures on it than you can see
in a year or two of browsing-
