Above is a second drawing of the Peebles Farm/Pegram's Farm Operations, 30 Sept. -2 Oct. by the same unidentified artist. Drawn for Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper, both images are in the collection of the New-York Historical Society. The six-sided redoubt was afterwards reversed by Federal soldiers and renamed Fort Wheaton after Capt. J. H. Wheaton, 1st Michigan Infantry, killed during the fighting.
