DescriptionThe David L. Hack Civil War Photography Collection. A photograph of barren woods with a creek off to the left side of the frame. In the center the black figure of a person is facing away from the camera, toward the water as he is seated low to the ground. In the background on both the left and right sides stand two man-made structures of stone blocks with the outline of a few men facing toward the black, seated figure in the foreground. This is from _Gardner's Photographic Sketchbook of the War_ (Hack Collection No. 2].
