“Distributing rations and appointing a knapsack guard before a reconnoissance near Warrentown, Va. Our sketch represents the Federal soldiers receiving their rations and the appointment of a guard for their knapsacks. Thanks to our illustration, the exempts, whether sneaks, aliens, valetudinarians, or members of that peace society, the Home Guards, could get a pretty accurate idea of a soldier’s life, and be present in spirit with their noble brothers on whom they had devolved the sacred duty of battle."— Frank Leslie, 1896
