EDITORS COMMENTS
The photograph captures a significant moment in American history during the Civil War. In the image, a group of engineers can be seen diligently constructing a Corduroy Road in the vicinity of Richmond, Virginia. The road, made from logs laid side by side on top of muddy terrain, was an innovative solution to improve transportation for troops and supplies. Taken by photographer David B. Woodbury in June 1862, this stereograph provides a glimpse into the challenging conditions faced by those involved in building infrastructure during wartime. The men are depicted working outdoors amidst dirt and debris, highlighting their dedication and resilience. This photograph serves as a reminder of the immense efforts undertaken during this tumultuous period in our nation's history. It symbolizes not only the physical construction of roads but also represents unity and determination as people came together to overcome obstacles brought about by war. Preserved by Granger Art on Demand, this print allows us to reflect upon the sacrifices made during the Civil War while appreciating how far we have come since then. It is a testament to human ingenuity and adaptability that continues to shape our society today.
