Cannons and armed soldiers standing beside a hotel and railroad tracks suggest a town where the rail line mattered as much as the lodging. During the American Civil War, both armies placed artillery and guards along key railroads and depots to protect supply and troop movements, and hotels near stations often served travelers, officers and local men alike. Hotels of this kind frequently included a barroom, which is why the picture hangs among the tavern and saloon images. Look closely at how the soldiers and guns share the street with ordinary rail traffic.
