An oval-shaped print of a photograph of Brigadier General George Stoneman (1822-1894) and four other officers sit on horses while Union soldiers stand on top of a cabin, stretching a canvas across the open roof. A tent has been erected next to the cabin and a woman dressed in a dark dress stands in front. An inscription on the reverse side reads: "Building winter quarters. Hedley says that the Brig. gen. in this plate should be easily identified. 15842 War." Title taken from this. Also stamped on back is "Art Department, The Century Co., 33 East 17th St., New York City."
