EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in American history - the Battle of Long Island in 1776. Colonel John Glover, a prominent figure from the Marblehead militia, is seen overseeing the retreat of Continental Army troops across the East River to Manhattan on the night of August 29-30. The battle had resulted in their defeat by British forces during the American Revolution. In this wood engraving, created around 1876, we witness Colonel Glover's leadership and determination as he supervises the embarkation process. Standing at the riverside, he ensures that every soldier safely boards rowboats and sailing ships for transportation to Manhattan. With his sword at his side and an unwavering gaze, Glover exemplifies bravery amidst adversity. The image showcases not only the physicality of war but also highlights strategic planning and organization during times of crisis. It serves as a reminder of how crucial leaders like Colonel Glover were in ensuring that their troops could regroup and fight another day. Granger Art on Demand has beautifully preserved this historical artifact for us to appreciate today. As we delve into its details, we are transported back to a pivotal moment when America fought for its independence against formidable odds.
