介绍（中）	这幅石版画详细描述了1862年6月25日至7月1日期间，联邦军的补给车和士兵在七天战斗中沿着弗吉尼亚半岛撤退的情况。乔治·麦克莱伦少将夺取邦联首都里士满的尝试失败后，他的军队被迫返回詹姆斯河。新英格兰艺术家Bachelder在这里强调了联邦军队的规模，他们排着长队的马车和步兵排等待着福德熊溪。一个陡峭的裂缝银行挑战着下行的货车，其中几辆已经沉没。在左右两侧，鼓手涉水穿过溪流，燧发枪手将大炮拉上河岸。在前景中，步兵在两名骑兵附近的篝火旁休息，两名骑兵正在勘察现场。巴切尔德随军旅行，他的军事草图被联邦将军约翰·考德威尔描述为"迄今为止我见过的最准确的"
介绍（英）	This lithograph details the Union army’s supply wagons and soldiers retreating down the Virginia Peninsula during the Seven Days Fight, a series of battles fought between June 25 and July 1, 1862. Once Major General George McClellan’s attempt to take the Confederate capital of Richmond had failed, his army was forced back to the James River. Bachelder, a New England artist, here emphasizes the scale of the Union forces with long lines of horse-drawn wagons and infantry platoons waiting to ford Bear Creek. A steep fissured bank challenges the descending wagons, several of which have foundered. At left and right drummers wade across the stream and fusiliers pull cannons up the bank. In the foreground, infantrymen rest around a campfire near two cavalrymen who survey the scene. Bachelder traveled with the army, and his military sketches were described by Union General John Caldwell as "by far the most accurate of any I have ever seen."
