I think the best way for you to get information on him would be through the states archives, good luck icon_thumleft

Appears to be from POST Civil War decades/end of 19th century era due to the kepi, insignia, coat and 2nd lieutenant shoulder strap it seems...

but I'm usually wrong about everything else..so don't invest your life savings in my ponzi scheme of a guess

I believe that the name of the cavalry officer is James J. Hornbrook:

The Washington Times (Washington, D.C.)

July 14, 1897

"Army & Navy Promotions:

"...James J. Hornbrook, Second Cavalry, to be first lieutenant..."

Apparently, he was a career officer, later rising to the rank of colonel. I found a number of references to a Col. James J. Hornbrook, c. 1917-20:

Don't miss this colorful 1920 recruiting announcement which Hornbrook penned:
