"Officers of 1st Rhode Island Volunteers - Camp Sprague, 1861"
http://www.old-picture.com/civil-war/Volunteers-Officers-Sprague-Island.htm
On building, see the signs, "Col. Burnside" and a 2nd sign on the right, "Welcome Home." The Burnside sign looks very official and military, while the welcome sign is very artistic. Anyone know who they were "welcoming home?"
"Percy Wyndham, 1st New Jersey Cav"

VERY unique handlebar mustache plus goatee.
"Forage scene at General McClellan's headquarters"

Is this about distribution of goods after foraging? I'm not sure what I'm seeing, and would appreciate any eagle eyes with more knowledge chiming in.
