DescriptionThe David L. Hack Civil War Photography Collection. This photograph is showing a battlement area. There are trenches filled with a small amount of water. There are also some manmade barriers made out of stone, branches, and earth. In the distance there is a pole structure that may have flown a flag. Even farther back there are rows of trees. This scene is desolate of any people. This is from _Gardner's Photographic Sketchbook of the War_ (Hack Collection No. 2].
