A pontoon bridge across the Hazel River in Virginia sets this view apart, showing a temporary crossing of flat-bottomed boats and planking that carried troops and wagons over water without a permanent span. The Hazel River runs through Culpeper County, an area of heavy military movement in the early part of the war. The print was issued by the War Photograph and Exhibition Company, a firm that sold views of the conflict to a public eager for images from the field. Such crossings were essential to wartime movement, and the picture records one practical solution armies relied on.
