Church of the Engineer Corps before Petersburg

O'Sullivan, Timothy H., 1840-1882 · March 1865

From "War Memories" catalog: The Engineer Corps were made up of skilled mechanics, bridge builders, etc., etc., and their winter quarters on the lines before Petersburg during the winter of 1864-1865, made by far the handsomest, most attractive camp in the Army of the Potomac. This is a view of the beautiful little church built by them at their camp. The church and steeple are made of rough pine logs and branches, with the bark on, but it is artistic enough to make it worthy of a more permanent existance than a soldier's camp warrants.
