Headquarters 50th New York Engineers

O'Sullivan, Timothy H., 1840-1882 · November 1864

From "War Memories" catalog: The following views were photographed on the lines before Petersburg, Virginia, during the summer of 1864, and the winter of 1864-1865. This is a view of Colonel Spaulding's quarters. Pine boughs have been interwoven into a handsome design for the front entrance. Over the entrance is the well-known engineer corps badge woven with the same material. Pieces of canvas are stretched over the ridge-pole, and this completes the regimental headquarters. Colonel Spaulding stands in the doorway.
