Library of Congress says: Approach to Reb. [i.e. Rebel] works on right flank at Port Hudson.
MOLLUS Collection says: Port Hudson. View of Central [Sap?] towards Enemy’s work opposite 1st Miss. Capt. Duryea’s Battery – a man a day was killed putting it up, and two or thrice wounded – The cotton hogs-heads in the middle between the trees hide the Battery. The poles with bundles of cotton on them are to show the Batteries in rear this position, to keep them from firing into it.
