DescriptionA man wearing a Union army uniform lies sleeping on his back with his hands behind his head and one knee raised. He has a mustache. His rifle lies on the blanket at his side. A large smoky campfire burns vigorously at the left. In the background are rows of conical white tents. Three men are beside a cannon at the left. Three other men sit beside a fire in the center background. A vignette in the sky, surrounded by smoke or clouds, represents the soldier's dream. A man in uniform stands embracing and kissing a woman on a dirt road leading to a small house. A boy and a girl stand nearby.
