This photograph, titled "CIVIL WAR: TELEGRAPH, 1864" transports us back to a pivotal moment in American history. The image captures the battery wagon headquarters of the civilian U. S. Military Telegraph Service, providing crucial support to the Army of the Potomac during the intense battles at Petersburg, Virginia in June 1864. Photographed by David Knox, this snapshot offers a glimpse into the intricate web of communication that played a vital role during times of war. A covered wagon stands prominently amidst a backdrop of soldiers and telegraph wires, symbolizing both innovation and tradition colliding on the battlefield.
