At Camp Near Bladensburg

Christmas Festivities: Chasing a pig … and a pigskin?

Holiday in the camp of the 23 Penn. Vol. near Bladensburg (1861 ca. December 25 by Alfred R. Waud; LOC: LC-DIG-ppmsca-22441)

Through the haze of 150 years it’s kind of hard to make everything out. You can read the description at the Library of Congress. There’s information here that Camp Union was the name of the camp near Bladensburg.
