The image, which is one of three known, was taken in Clarksville almost immediately after Woodward 'captured' Clarksville. A description of the events described in a Confederate Veteran are as follows:
"It was siad that after being paroled by the Confederates, Colonel Mason asked Colonel Woodward if he would favor him with his photograph. Colonel Woodward did not weigh more than one hundred and ten pounds and had long curly hair flowing over his soldiers; his very small legs were stuck in high cavalry boots reaching above his knees and on which was an enourmous pair of Mexican spurs. He had a cavalry saber that was much too long for him and an army pistol attached to his belt which, contrasted with his size, looked like a small cannon. His gray pantaloons were stuffed in his boots, while a dark-gray hunting shirt, with a narrow-brim corduroy slouch hat, completed his apparel. On being asked why he desired the photo, Colonel Mason replied that he wished to show his friends in the North what a little, insignificant cuss he had been forced to surrender to."
