Content
This collection includes six unsigned, graphite on paper drawings made by Sgt. Archibald M. Willard of Co. C of the 86th Ohio Infantry while his regiment was stationed at Cumberland Gap in the winter of 1863-1864. The 86 picketed the Gap proper, all approaching roads; and the pinnacle. Willard's sketches therefore represent the Gap from various directions and include camp scenes, wagon trains, and Fort McCook which was located on the west slope of the pinnacle.
