View of African American Union Soldiers Guarding a Section of Union Siege Line Fortifications During the Siege of Petersburg Near Petersburg, Virginia (1864)

Only two of the soldiers seem to be keeping watch on the enemy in this scene. The rest of the visible men seem relaxed and are posing for the camera.

Close-up view of a group of soldiers posing in front of their bombproof.
