Photo of a Preserved Section of Revolutionary War Era Fortifications at Valley Forge, Pennsylvania (1862)

 

 

"On the old fortification at Valley Forge." View of a section of Revolutionary War-era fortifications at Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, c. 1862. Taken by Amateur Photographic Exchange Club member Samuel Fisher Corlies. Originally published as a stereoview. I think that the trees look to bare for this to have been taken in May as the Library of Congress site states so probably the May date on the card only pertains to the printing date.
