EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense Battle of Pea Ridge, Arkansas, which took place on March 8th, 1862. Published by Currier & Ives in 1862, this color lithograph showcases the remarkable fighting that occurred between Union forces led by Generals Curtis and Sigel and the Confederate army under Van Dorn, Price, and McCulloch. The image depicts a scene filled with smoke from cannon fire as Union soldiers charge forward with bayonets fixed. The devastating consequences of war are evident as fallen soldiers lie scattered across the battlefield. The iconic Elkhorn Tavern stands witness to this historic clash. Major General Earl Van Dorn leads his Confederate troops against the determined Unionists who fiercely defend their cause under General Samuel R. Curtis. This battle would ultimately result in a total defeat and rout for the Rebel Army. Amidst all the chaos and violence, horses play an essential role in this conflict. They carry brave soldiers into battle while others fall victim to bullets and bayonets. This photograph not only serves as a visual record of a significant moment in American history but also highlights the harsh realities faced by both sides during one of the most tumultuous periods -the American Civil War. It is a testament to bravery, sacrifice, and resilience displayed by those who fought valiantly for their beliefs on that fateful day at Pea Ridge.
