General Rawlin's horse taken at Cold Harbor, Virginia

description

Summary

Photograph incorrectly captioned as being taken at Cold Harbor, Virginia, which is not located near a significant river (Source: Tim Ford, November 2018). If the rest of the caption is correct, the boy is seated on General John A. Rawlins' horse on June 14, 1864, which means that the photograph was probably taken near the James River (Source: letter from U.S. Grant to his wife, Julia, June 15, 1864), possibly by a photographer associated with Mathew Brady (Source: letter from U.S. Grant to his wife, Julia, June 19, 1864, "Brady is along with the Army and is taking a great many views...").
No. 2431.
Caption on mount: "Gen. Rawlin's horse taken at Cold Harbor, Va."
Civil War Photographs collection.
