A print of a photograph of five Union officers seated outside a log cabin. A tent is stretched out to form the roof on the well-constructed log cabin. The cabin has a brick chimney topped with a barrel. An A-frame tent with a brick chimney is behind the cabin. A high ranking officer sits in the center and wears a badge on his coat [perhaps, a 6th Corps badge]. One of the men wears a non-regulation checker-patterned coat. "XI" or "IX" "154." Variant sky-line above the cabin.
