Description: Grierson's cavalrymen near the end of their 600-mile raid behind the Confederate lines. While this photo of Grierson's Raiders is purportedly by an unnamed Confederate spy, it was actually by Andrew David Lytle, a Baton Rouge photographer who openly photographed Union military, both army and navy, in and around Baton Rouge after the city was occupied in 1862.
