Becoming Confederates

Savage's Station

Savage's Station

Savage's Station on the Richmond and York River Railroad was the headquarters of Samuel P. Heintzelman's Third Corps in June 1862 and the site of a disorganized action on June 29 during George B. McClellan's withdrawal from the Peninsula. This watercolor is the work of Private Robert K. Sneden (1832-1918), a topographical engineer in the 40th New York Volunteers.
