This page from a magazine depicts a battle in Virginia during the Civil War. The caption reads, "Our readers will be able to study the siege of Petersburg in our illustrations as they did that of Vicksburg. It is one of those cases where pictorial illustration has an advantage over mere verbal accounts. Here we see the Thirty-fourth New York Battery and the Seventh Maine , of Wilcox's Third. Division of Bunside's Ninth Army Corps, shelling the city of Petersburg itself as it stands in full sight, and less than three miles off.

Year: 1865

Condition: Very good; please note various paper imperfections.
