The View from Squirrel Ridge: Stylish in 1865

Stylish in 1865

The June theme for City Daily Photo is "Stylish." I'm personally not much interested in current styles so I'm looking back 150 years to show a respected style. The American Civil War had just ended and a well-dressed soldier would have commanded attention and respect.

I took this picture on Saturday at Valentia in Washington County, Maryland. It overlooks Antietam Creek.
