Is that a common tent?

Let's try this,(this picture thing is in a truly experamental stage).  BTW, Harpers Ferry, 1862, post Jackson's visit.

Dave,

It looks like a Sibley tent to me. I do believe that is a fireplace. You can actually see soot on the tent right above the bricks. Most lilely build from the wreakage of the arsenal. I'll bet it didn't draw very well though, since it isn't nearly tall enough.

BTW, did you notice the camp furniture on the company street? Somebody must have forgot to tell those guys that wasn't period correct.

You done good on that second picture, came through clear as a bell.    

In a static camp in a town, yea, furniture would have been plentiful. And with all of the spare wood lying around from the torn up buildings, I'll bet those boys had bunches fo time to build things.

Dave,

That table, in the background, looks like it got liberated from somebody's house!

I've got a question. Does any body have an idea what that big black spot is on the tent across the street from the Sibley with the big fireplace?    

 

Bill,

That looks like a very good painting or stencil of a pretty girl.  Her head tilted slightly.  That's cool.

Now, look at the tent picture and the cookware pictures and notice how many things you can find in both pictures. It's wierd.

One thing I did notice is the floor in the tent on the front right. Looks like some kind of flooring?

It looks like the second tent on the left has flooring too. Nice thing to have in the Winter time.
