EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in American history during the Civil War. In 1862, Union General Joseph Hooker's division transformed a humble house into a makeshift hospital in Fair Oaks, Virginia. The image, taken by James F. Gibson in June of that year, showcases the exterior of this vital medical facility. The photograph portrays a scene filled with both hope and despair. A dirt road stretches out before us, leading to the house-turned-hospital nestled amidst towering trees in the southeast region of Virginia. Men can be seen scattered around the property, some seeking solace under the shade while others engage in conversations or attend to their duties. The gravity of war is palpable as wounded soldiers find refuge within these walls. This home has become a sanctuary for those who have sacrificed so much on the battlefield. It stands as a testament to humanity's resilience and compassion even amidst such turmoil. As we gaze upon this stereograph from 1862, we are reminded of the bravery and sacrifice exhibited by individuals like General Joseph Hooker and his division during one of America's darkest periods. Through this photograph captured by James F. Gibson, we bear witness to an important chapter in our nation's history – one where ordinary homes became symbols of healing and hope for those affected by war.
