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.
