Rather than a battle scene or a portrait, this item is a genealogy chart tracing the Lee family of Virginia and Maryland, a family best known through Robert E. Lee, who commanded the Confederate army during the Civil War. Family charts like this were popular in the late nineteenth century, when many American families sought to document their ancestry and link it to notable names. The chart was registered for copyright in April 1886, and its catalog card names a Mrs. H.A. Marshall, though the record notes that this information is unverified. Its place on a Civil War board reflects the family's wartime prominence rather than any depicted event.
