BRADY’S ALBUM GALLERY. No. 306. Departure from the Old Homestead, Centreville, “And trembling, shrinking from the spoilers hand, Far, far away, thy children leave the land.” [Brady Co. album card]

Photographic Incidents of the War. No. 306. Departure from the Old Homestead. [Gardner Co. stereo card]

Photographic War History. The War For The Union. No. 306. Refugees Leaving the Old Homestead. This was one of the familiar scenes during the war. Union families were persecuted by the Rebels and “bushwackers,” and to escape this persecution and probable death, they would, when our troops came near enough to protect them, hastily gather up a little furniture, pile it on to an old wagon, and bidding goodby [sic] to their home, take up their march northward toward the land of freedom. [Taylor & Huntington stereo card]
