View of the remains of a Union Army camp as it is broken down. A brick fireplace and chimney sits in the foreground, with a floor made of wooden planks laid on the ground in front. A man leans against the fireplace and faces the camera. Tents and trees surround the brick structure, and makeshift stalls for horses and a stockade for prisoners are visible in the background.
