Sutler's Tent

[frontrank2]

A sutler's tent that is open for business with the Army of the Potomac. Notice the bottles of O' Be Joyful on the top of the table, no doubt substituting for a bar. Date and location are unknown.

I had never paid attention to this picture before, but almost everyone appears to be wearing civilian clothing. Interesting.

This sutler belonged to the Second Division of the Ninth Corps. The location is Petersburg, Va. The image was taken in November 1864 with a stereo camera. This card is an example.

The Library of Congress has a stereoview issued during the war which ID's the sutler.
