This photograph was taken by Jone Reekie, and printed by Alexander Gardner, it shows a horrible sense after the War. Some black men were burying the dead soldiers who have alreay become a pile of bones. A white man standing nonchalant and supervising their work. The man who was seating in the middle looked toward the camera, from his expression; it seemed nothing can release his apprehension. This is a dirdful scene, it shows what wars bring to people, also, it present how paidful the photographer felt at that moment when he saw this horrible scene. During this war, almost sixty thousand Union soldiers were dead or injured.
