DescriptionThis is a carte de visite. The David L. Hack Civil War Photography Collection. A sketch of soldiers in battle. One man has fallen and is held by another man. His knapsack, sword, and hat lay on the ground beside him. Another soldier has approached the two to help, leaning down giving his hand. In the background other men continue to march on. This is from _Gardner's Photographic Sketchbook of the War_ (Hack Collection No. 2].
