Correction on "Possible" Camp Cameron Photo

The photo I posted on 3/1/12 is not Camp Cameron in Cambridge/Somerville. I finally found the source, the Medford, MA Historical Society. It was in a book they published; Shadows of the Stars, Volume One of the Images of War 1861-1865. Page 147.

Below it was this: The 7th New York Militia on Review in Camp Cameron, The drill and review were all too new to the recruits in 1861. It would become all to familiar in the years to come." MHS

This would make it Camp Cameron in Georgetown.
