A canvas pontoon bridge
O'Sullivan, Timothy H., 1840-1882 · May 24, 1864
From "War Memories" catalog: This is the point on the North Anna River near Jericho Mills where the Fifth Corps crossed in May, 1864. On this side of the river is seen the pontoon wagons, and the stacked muskets of some of the troops. On the other side the troops are in bivouac under the trees, making coffee. The stacks of muskets, the soldiers lying on the ground, the smoke from the various little bivouac fires, combine to make the "past rise before us like a dream."
