This is an original period image from the Library of Congress, the National Archives and other quality sources restored and tinted by the internationally known color artist and author of "Restoring and Tinting Vintage Images", David Richardson. Each image is taken from a high resolution negative and then cleaned of blemishes, damage, scratches, and whatever the decades have caused. Then the image is carefully brought back to life by adding color to the black and white image. By using these techniques the hands of time are turned back and for the first time you can see the images in color as they might have been on the day they were taken. You have your choice of size and finish for the photo.

Note that the size you choose may require cropping and the finished image may appear slightly different than the one shown. If preferred a white border can be added above/below or left/right to allow all of the original image to print. Unless requested when placing your order, your image may be cropped.

Tent life of 31st Pennsylvania Infantry.

At Queen's farm, vicinity of. After the first battle of Bull Run (1st Manassas) in 1861, both armies went into a period of rebuilding. For the North, this was an opportunity to build up fortifications (such as Fort Slocum) to defend from possible attack on Washington.

Infantry (later the 82nd Penn Infantry) was one of the units encamped for months on end at the start of the war. For many on both sides, this slow period brought a longing for the family they left at home. Few were thinking that they would need to make provisions for more than a few months, or how they would transport family and belongings if ordered into battle. Accounts of the day indicate that many wives and family did accompany their husbands throughout the war.
