Scenes taken on Morris Island, S.C., during the Charleston campaign in the summer of 1863

An album of photographs taken on Morris Island during the 1863 Charleston campaign.

The partnership’s Morris Island album: forty-six original contemporary sepia prints and about seventy copy prints, from negatives in the B816 and B8178 series.

The cover misspells siege. It is transcribed here as the Library transcribes it, with the bracketed sic, because correcting an object is not the same as describing it.
