A print of a photograph of six Union officers. The tent to the rear is a "Sibley" tent attached to log base [wintered or garissoned for long-term dwelling] and appears to be attached to an A-frame tent in the front. A brick chimney had been built behind the Sibley quarters and a tin smoke pipe pokes throught the A-frame tent. The group appears to be all officers, and the two men standing on the right wear oiled cloth kepi covers. Inscription on verso: "Gardner XI or (IX) 291."
