Description: Battle of Goldsborough, North Carolina "The "covered bridge" is located on the right of the picture. It is nearly concealed by trees. The Wilmington and Weldon Railroad, along which the Seventeenth passed, can be traced from the bridge, across the battle-ground, to the left-hand side. The forest from which the Confederates emerged is visible on the left side, beyond the railroad; and their assault upon our artillery was upon the knoll represented in the foreground." "Sketched by Private Merrill G. Wheelock of Company F, Fortyfourth Regiment. ... Painted in oil for Col. Lee, and photographed. The heliotypes in this volume are reduced from the photographs."
