Petersburg - Battery 8

Post by Little Powell »

Here's a "time tunnel" image I made of Battery 8 in Petersburg. I snapped this photo while visiting Petersburg during the Matrix trip last year.

Some additional info on the old photo: This shows Union troops occupying the Confederate Battery 8 five days after its capture in 1865. Famed Civil War photographer Matthew Brady actually stands next to the cannon in the center (just to the left of the modern wayside).
