This comes from a series of images produced by photographer Mathew Brady and his associates. With the outbreak of the Civil War in 1861, Mathew Brady endeavored to record the progress of the war with his camera. He and his associates, notably Alexander Gardner, George Barnard, and Timothy O'Sullivan, traveled throughout the eastern part of the country and photographed many of the battlefields, towns, and people touched by the war. This document was identified by teachers in our 2015 Primarily Teaching online workshop.
This primary source comes from the Records of the Office of the Chief Signal Officer.
