'Seeing the elephant'

A young Union recruit having just survived his first day, attempts to process what he has seen . The Confederates are still camped on the other side of the hill.

Great photo, I like the look on the young man's face.

God, the picture makes me fear for what my grandson may have to go through one day.

And if a picture can do that to me, it's a dam good one.

Sincerely,
Unionblue
