Title: Confederate Dead on the Battlefield [stereocard]

Inscription on verso: "723. Confederate Dead on the Battlefield. This view was taken near Spotsylvania Court House, May 12, 1864, after Ewell's attack on the Federal right.

There is very little of the 'romance of war' to be found in such scenes as this; the fair face of nature is smeared and stained with the blood of the poor victims of war. Every rod of ground hereabouts has one or more dead soldiers laying on it."
