DescriptionThis is a carte de visite. The David L. Hack Civil War Photography Collection. A sketch of a man leading a battle charge on horseback. He has his hat raised up in one hand as his teeth hold the horses' reins; his other hand appears to be missing. To the left there is a tall tree. To the right there appears to be a basket and a plank of wood sticking out of the ground. Following him are several men, one with his sword raised in the air and another carrying the flag. This is from _Gardner's Photographic Sketchbook of the War_ (Hack Collection No. 2].
