DescriptionThe David L. Hack Civil War Photography Collection. An assembly of Confederate soldiers on a plain. The ground slopes down like a valley from the right side disappearing on the left edge. Many men are standing and sitting around the area. In the distance to the left side there are five covered wagons and many trees. This is from _Gardner's Photographic Sketchbook of the War_ (Hack Collection No. 2].
