Shawn - You're entirely right. It's been some time since I had that image and pulled it up from my old files thinking it was base ball (since it was mostly referred to as just "ball" during that period). This is actually just a generic game of some form of kick "ball" or possibly affiliated with foot "ball" (a rough form of foot ball was being played during the Civil War as well).
