Update 6/9/2013 1:45 P.M. CST: This drawing is wrongly attributed in many places, including Library of Congress and Wikipedia, to be of the Battle at Brandy Station. It turns out that this is highly likely a sketch made for publication in the news of the day. The woodcut derived from this image was used for the June 11, 1864 issue of Frank Leslie’s Illustrated Newspaper.
