DescriptionThe David L. Hack Civil War Photography Collection. This Civil War photograph shows many soldiers in a grassy area, posed for a picture in front of a tent. There is a large group pictured here and all are dressed in uniform. Two men are seated in the front with their legs crossed, while the rest of the men remain standing. A handful of men are holding their swords parallel to their right legs. To the far right a gentleman in the background can be seen with his elbows out and hands on his hips. This is from _Gardner's Photographic Sketchbook of the War_ (Hack Collection No. 2].
