The "crack team" of the 1st Division, 6th Army Corps near Hazel River, Va., March, 1864.
Photograph by Timothy O'Sullivan
There is not much additional information about this photograph. One source indicates the officer standing by the wagon may be Captain S.H. Menning. By "crack team" we can assume the mules were either very fast or very efficient. A note on the image (B-407) in the National Archives refers to it as an "ambulance." So...this is all we have to go on. Any suggestions?
