A stereocard of the Patriot Publishing Company. Description of the photograph reads "A group of Union dead on the right of the federal lines on the first days' fight, July 1, 1863. These soldiers were killed by one discharge of "cannister" from a Rebel gun during a charge. "Cannister" is a tin can filled with small balls about the size of a marcle. When the cannon is fired the force of the discharge bursts open the can, and the shower of canniseter balls sweeps everything before it." This stereocard reproduced is the 1940s
