A young African American figure stands among five Union soldiers posed on a dirt porch in front of a house, a detail that sets this view apart from many camp and portrait pictures of the period. The record does not name the town or the family who lived there, so the scene's exact circumstances remain unknown. The photograph is attributed to Mathew B. Brady, whose studio documented the early years of the Civil War, and it is catalogued as item No. 287 in the Library of Congress's Civil War collection. Its 1861 date places it near the start of the war, when Union volunteer regiments were still forming and many soldiers were photographed at home before leaving for the field.
