This image, taken at the Concord Fairgrounds in Massachusetts, documents the third annual encampment of the Massachusetts Volunteer Militia. The event took place over the course of three days in late September of 1859. The photograph showcases a bustling scene of soldiers in uniform, tents pitched in neat rows, and various military installations.

The women and children in the background add a touch of domesticity to the military setting, underscoring the importance of family and community support during this time.
