Description

This color postcard features a large leafy tree behind a wooden picket fence and a white house with green shutters behind it. The title along the bottom of the card reads "Tree Under Which Gen. Sherman Camped, Canton, Miss." The card is damaged on the left side. The back of the postcard identifies the item as a postcard and provides publisher information. Two green one cent postage stamps are placed sideways in the upper right corner. The postmark is too faded to read. The card is inscribed and is addressed to Mr. Clare Wallace in Jacksonville, Florida.
