Published by James McCallum at Fishers Brothers’ Photographers, 193 Washington Street, Boston. In June1865 Alexander Gardner covered the dedication of two monuments at Bull Run. One on Henry Hill and one at the Deep Cut, known as the Groveton Monument. The telltale stacked cannonballs atop the latter (versus an artillery shell atop the Henry Hill monument) illustrate which monument is which.  Artillery projectiles, still lying plentifully near the Deep Cut in 1865, were placed on the memorial for its dedication. This is the only known 1860s photograph taken on the Second Manassas Battlefield. The artillery shells were quickly taken away by relic hunters.

The stereo view has some extent of solar exposure, being somewhat light. The corners are worn with one small flake to the pink border of the right-hand side. Lengthy description on the rear. [stp][ph:L]
