‘then comes marriage’

Civil War wedding

March 18, 1863

This imaged was published in the April 4, 1863 issue of Harper’s Weekly. You can view Alfred R. Waud’s picture full-size and read his accompanying description of the wedding at Son of the South:

Few persons are wedded under more romantic circumstances than Nellie Lammond and Captain De Hart. He could not get leave of absence, so she came down like a brave girl, and married him in camp.
