About This Item

Camp near Brooks Station,, Saturday April 11, 1863.. Fine original condition.. 15-1/2 x 9-3/4 inches.. "...Yesterday I witnessed one of the grandest sights that I ever beheld. Our whole corps was reviewed by the President, Generals Hooker, McLain, Howard, Steinway, Secretary Seward and an innumerable host of Brigadier Generals, and it was a sight that has paid me for coming to war." The spectacle is described in great detail. Private Penfield was soon to be captured at Chancellorsville, spending 12 days as a prisoner of war before being exchanged. He survived the war to carry on his father's carriage making business in Monroe, Connecticut and later founded a small private academy.
