Made a query to NPS as to where these pictures were taken-Gaines Mills or Cold Harbor?
received following email today:
Your two e-mails regarding photographs reached me. All of those Reekie photographs from the spring of 1865 were taken in the vicinity of the Gaines's Mill and Cold Harbor battlefields. Those two battlefields overlap in places, so it is entirely plausible that the dead in the views could be from either action...
