An American flag dominates the center of the camp. Camp Chase was located in Arlington Heights, Virginia, and the 15th Connecticut Volunteer Regiment stayed here during November 1862, before taking part in the Battle of Fredericksburg the next month. It was commanded by Colonel Dexter R. Wright, whose name is listed on the print.
