A rare candid outdoor view showing a company of a Black regiment in camp. The photographer has trained their lens on the large pile of lumber. In the mid-ground, at least 16 African American soldiers are visible, standing at attention at the entrance to camp, flanked by earthworks. The camp, consisting of scores of tents, unfolds behind them.
