Stereoview, War View No. 2512 - Filling their Canteens, from the ca 1890 Taylor and Huntington reissue from the Anthony negatives, with the detailed description on verso: Comrades all remember how eagerly they made a rush for "the old well," when on a long and dusty march they came to a plantation with its cool "spring house," or its deep dark well. This view shows the familiar scene of filling the canteens; the well has been covered with canvas and a guard placed over it to prevent any waste of water, for a well, however deep and capacious, soon becomes dry when the army commence to draw water. Several African Americans sit on the ground and on horseback at the left of the image.
