Description: "The war in Virginia. General Butler's lines south of the James, Va., with troops in position near the Federal centre, awaiting an attack previous to the arrival of General Grant's army, June 3rd, 1864. The sudden transfer of operations by General Grant from the old battle ground on the Chickahominy, historic from the bloody campaign of 1862, and laden with the deadly miasm of the Chickahominy swamps, to the point south of the James River occupied by General Butler, gave that comparatively fresh locality additional interest to the public. We lay before our readers a sketch of the fortifications between the James and the Appomattox. Our view is taken from within, showing the shelter tents inside the works, and the men manning the line, awaiting an attack of the enemy."— Frank Leslie, 1896
