Caption from negative sleeve: View of Carpenter, Wheelwright and Harness shops at headquarters Army Potomac. April, 1864.

There is an interesting entry on the battle at americancivilwar.com as well as several additional photos.  Brandy Station was the site of the 1863 Battle of Brandy Station, the largest predominantly cavalry engagement of the American Civil War as well as the largest to take place ever on American soil.  Wiki
