Gardner’s Photographic Sketch Book Of The War. Vol. 1, No. 24. Scene in Pleasant Valley, Maryland. October, 1862. The house of Mrs. Lee, situated in Pleasant Valley, Maryland, was selected by General McClellan, after the battle of Antietam, as a temporary home for Mrs. McClellan, who paid a brief visit to the army. The General spent much of his time here, when not occupied with military matters, and in the vine-clad porch the officers of the Staff whiled away many a pleasant October day.
