Description
This colored print is rendered from an etching by Adalbert John Volck and depicts a scene in the camp of Stonewall Jackson; the general appears to be delivering a sermon while his soldiers bow their heads or kneel in prayer. They are gathered in a clearing in the wooded campsite. In the background, a row of tents are pitched under a raised Confederate flag.
