Web Author's Notes:
This photo is of a soldier sitting next to Chickasaw Bayou, north of Vicksburg, Mississippi. The exact point on the bayou is not known. The date is stated in various sources as February 1864 but this may be just the publishing date, not when the original image was taken.

Photograph taken by William Redish Pywell and courtesy of the Library of Congress
