DescriptionThe David L. Hack Civil War Photography Collection. Photograph of Camp Griffin. The soldiers are positioned off-center slightly but are lined up with rifles in hand, in a field in a wide V shape. In the center there stand eight men. In the back it is easy to spot the drummer. Above the men, in the center of their V shape formation is a large constructed archway with a G inside of a triangle. Behind them is a line of trees. This is from _Gardner's Photographic Sketchbook of the War_ (Hack Collection No. 2].
