Drawn by Frank. Maynicke.
Camp Greble was named in honor of Lieutenant John Trout Greble killed at the Battle of Big Bethel, Virginia (June 10, 1861) and the first Union Army officer to die in the Civil War. In 1861, Frank Maynicke, a native-born Prussian, enlisted as a private in the New York State Volunteers (N.Y.S.V.). He was eventually transferred to Company F of the 99th N.Y.S.V., serving in the Union Coast Guard. In January 1864, he was captured near Smithfield, Va., and was a prisoner of war in Richmond, Va., and Andersonville, Ga.
Twenty-four locations are indexed including “Sutter & Gunmaker, “Photograph Shop,” “House for Knapsacks,” and “Bowling Alley.” Tents of officers and various companies are identified as are cooking houses.

- Signed lower right: Alf. R. Waud.
- Title inscribed below image.
- Inscribed lower left: Saturday August 30th 1862. Inscribed on verso: Advance of the rebel, Genl. Hills division. 30th of August 1862. In the distance is the enemies guns on the heights of Groveton. Groveton is situated to left of the middle of the sketch. Dogners [?] house in the centre. Battery in foreground captured by Penders troops. Troops in foreground part of Sch[urz]’s command. The officer on horseback may be Col. Koltes but I am not sure.
- Inscribed in ink on verso, lower right: Edwin E.F. Store [?].
This drawing seems to titled and dated wrong on the Library of Congress page for this image. The rainy evening retreat of Pope’s forces was on August 30, not the 28th, and it was to Centreton, not Groveton or Mnassas Junction. Where the title and date came from is not identified on LOC page.
Title: “Retreat of the Army of the Rappahannock (Gen. Pope) to Groveton, Manassas Junction”; drawing by Edwin Forbes, date August 28, 1832 on the LOC page for this image.

Accompanies “Report of Major General John Pope to the hon. Committee on the Conduct of the War.”
Handwritten note on verso reads as follows: There is very little in accuracy in this map. Porter is entirely misplaced & thrown some miles in front of his true position. Kings division of McDowell’s Corps never reached the position assigned beyond Groveton. Kearney also is thrown too far forward. A map of the positions on 28″ 29″ & 30th was sent to the War Department when Gen. Belknap was there by Gen. Porter before this colored map was thought of-with the request it might be used in compiling any map of 2d Bull Run. The data on that map was verified by Confederate as well as our officers.
