The title places this scene at Roanoke Island, North Carolina, on February 7, 1862, when a Union force under Ambrose Burnside came ashore on the island's sound-side beaches. The landing led to a fight the next day, and the Union victory gave federal forces a foothold on the North Carolina sounds early in the Civil War. The shelflist card links the print to the firm E. Sachse & Co., but that attribution is unverified, and the record gives no date for the print itself.
