Camp-fires were still smouldering along the side of the abatis where the
lens caught the field of Nashville, while Thomas' concentric forward
movement was in progress. Note the abatis to the right of the picture, the
wagons moving and ready to move in the background, and the artillery on
the left. White tents gleam from the distant hills. A few straggling
soldiers remain. The Federals are closing with Hood's army a couple of
miles to the right of the scene in the picture.
