1864
From "War Memories" catalog: The Engineer Corps were made up of skilled mechanics, bridge builders, etc., etc., and their winter quarters on the lines before Petersburg during the winter of 1864-1865, made by far the handsomest, most attractive camp in the Army of the Potomac. This is a view of Colonel Spaulding's quarters. Pine boughs have been interwoven into a handsome design for the front entrance. Over the entrance is the well-known Engineer Corps badge woven with the same material. Pieces of canvas are stretched over the ridge-pole, and this completes the Regimental Headquarters. Colonel Spaulding stands in the doorway.
