Bomb-proof restaurant on the Petersburg line
O'Sullivan, Timothy H., 1840-1882 · [ca. 1861–1865]
From "War Memories" catalog: Who but a "Yank" would think of starting a "store" or restaurant on the line of battle where shot and shell are constantly falling? This is a bomb-proof restaurant on the line at Petersburg. The sign over the door "Fruit & Oyster House," looks as though it might have been "captured" by the proprietors from some regular eating house.
