EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the scene of an inspection of Union troops at Cumberlanding, Pamunkey, Virginia, in May 1862. The photograph was taken during the American Civil War and was later printed around 1865. In the foreground, a wagon and anvil are visible, suggesting that the troops may have been making repairs or preparing for the next stage of their campaign. The troops in the background are arranged in neat rows, their uniforms and weapons at the ready, as they await the inspection of their commanding officer. The serene landscape, with its rolling hills and trees in full bloom, provides a stark contrast to the military precision and discipline on display. The image offers a glimpse into the daily life of the Union army during the Civil War, a time of great upheaval and change in American history. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the soldiers and their families during this period, and the importance of maintaining order and discipline in the face of adversity.
