As a relatively new member, I don't know if anyone has posted this old photo before. I love this picture. It is from the United States Military Telegraph website: http://www.unitedstatesmilitarytelegraph.org

The photograph is from the National Archives. It was taken circa 1862-3 by Captain Andrew Russell.

There are more photos and info available on the USMT website.
