Battery A, Fourth U. S. Artillery — Robertson's Brigade. Photographer: Gardner, James
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: War Photography
General view of troops and guns stretched out along the grassy slope, with the camp in the background: 'This is one of the celebrated horse batteries of the Army of the Potomac … The picture represents the four 12-pounder light brass pieces 'in battery,' with limbers and caissons to the rear, and on the left the battery wagon, forge, ambulance, and wagons for transportation, embracing the entire equipage of a light battery in the field. Beyond, another battery is seen in camp. The horses being hitched in, and limber chests open, would seem to indicate that an inspection is about to be made. Just in the edge of the woods is brigade headquarters.'
