View of the U. S. Military Telegraph Construction Corps at work installing wooden poles and stringing telegraph wires through a field. Tents sit surrounded by horses, some saddled and some hitched to covered wagons, as men move about the field holding shovels or uncoiling wire. Two tall wooden poles made of tree trunks stand in the grass, each with a man perched on top.
