View of a forge set up at a Union Army encampment. A group of soldiers stand beneath a hut made of tree trunks covered with evergreen branches and look on as a man holds a horse next to a forge while waiting to be shod. One man stands at the bellows and another stands at the anvil next to him holding a horseshoe between a pair of pliers.
