William Henry French, an officer in the U.S. Army’s 2nd Mounted Artillery, stands outside his field tent along the Chickahominy River in May 1862 during the American Civil War. A U.S. flag hangs at the entrance while the general appears in full uniform with sword at his side. Images like this were often produced by studios connected to Mathew B. Brady, whose photographers documented Union officers and soldiers during the war, creating some of the most enduring visual records of the conflict.
