A view behind the lines of the 1st Indiana Heavy Artillery in Fort Hudson, Louisiana. An area has been cleared out of the forest, leaving an open space which has at least one gun in the center, surrounded by standing Union soldiers under the command of either Captain Clayton Cox (1842-1866) or Captain Chambers Cox (1840-1866). The men and artillery are standing behind an earthwork reinforced with circular bales of cotton. It is cotton from these bales that is littering the ground, looking like snow.
