Military Bridge Across the Chickahominy — Antique Architectural Print

During the 1862 Peninsula Campaign, Union General George McClellan's advance on Richmond stalled at the Chickahominy River, a modest waterway that turned into a mile-wide swamp after heavy rain. His army corps of engineers built a series of military bridges, including the Grapevine Bridge and others raised by volunteer infantry regiments, to keep the divided Union forces connected across the flood-prone river. These hastily engineered crossings became emblematic of the campaign's difficult, waterlogged terrain.
