Historic Civil War-themed postcard depicting a group of U.S. soldiers at Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, in March 1861, shortly before the outbreak of the American Civil War. Titled "A Scene of Peaceful Tranquility," the card portrays troops gathered in a relaxed camp setting during the tense months leading up to the conflict. The reverse notes that despite growing tensions between Northern and Southern states, a calm atmosphere still prevailed among the soldiers before the nation was divided by war. An excellent collectible for Civil War historians, military collectors, Harpers Ferry enthusiasts, and postcard collectors.
