Stone Church, Centreville, Va. March, 1862 Photographer: Barnard and Gibson
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: War Photography
View looking towards the small stone church, with a group of soldiers posed in the foreground: 'Perched upon the gentle slope of the ridge that bears its name, and looking across fertile fields to the mountains that rise up grandly hiding the West, Centreville had smiled on many generations, and grown feeble with all its pleasant things about it ... War crushed it, piled earthworks upon its ruins to protect hostile camps, built cantonments in its gardens, and made hospitals of its churches. Scarcely a vestige of its former self remains. Redoubts and riflepits stretch along its knolls; graves, half hidden by the grass, tell where the dead of both armies slumber, and the spot now interests the visitor because of the wreck that has come upon it ...'
