Fowx's lens also transports us to Life in Camp at 6th Corp Headquarters circa 1864. Through his skilled eye, we glimpse into the daily lives of soldiers as they prepare for battle - camaraderie evident even amidst adversity. The Marshall House in Alexandria, Virginia becomes an emblematic symbol frozen in time through Fowx's lens from 1861. This haunting image reminds us of the toll war takes on both sides; its walls bear witness to countless stories left untold. A group gathered on a porch during the 1860s showcases Fowx's ability to capture candid moments that transcend time itself. Their expressions hint at shared experiences and unspoken bonds forged by war. Focusing on military drills, "Bayonet Drill" circa 1863 reveals not only soldiers' physical training but also their unwavering dedication to duty and discipline – qualities that defined this tumultuous era. In April 1863, Fowx documents part of Construction Corps Building New Military Truss Bridge Across Bull Run – an essential lifeline connecting troops across treacherous terrain. His photograph immortalizes these unsung heroes who built bridges both literally and metaphorically during wartime. Dutch Gap Canal reappears once more in another stunning photograph from James River taken by Fowx himself in 1864.
