View of a Union Army encampment at Cumberland Landing, Virginia. An anvil resting on a barrel sits beside a mud-splattered forge in the foreground, as a group of horses graze in the field to the right. Rows of Union soldiers stand at attention in the distance in front of the tents that make up the quarters. Small groups of men lounge around the field among their rifles, which lean against each other to create small cone-shaped pyramids.
