Title: Fair Oaks, Va., vicinity. Fort Richardson and adjacent encampment.
[This was a temporary fort. A more permanent Fort Richardson was part of the defenses of Washington City, with much more impressive weaponry. A stereograph from this negative, identifies the battery as “Knapp Pa. Battery, Fair Oaks, Va.” along with the name “William Pinkerton”, both written in hand on the back.]
