EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Battle of Shiloh, Tennessee, c. 1862" by Felix Octavius Carr Darley, transports us back to the intense and chaotic atmosphere of one of the bloodiest battles in American history. The image depicts General Grant leading a fearless cavalry charge amidst the Battle of Shiloh in April 1862. As we gaze upon this historical masterpiece, we witness Confederate soldiers desperately fleeing before the relentless advance of General Grant's forces. In the foreground, a fallen soldier clings onto a tattered flag that is on the verge of being trampled by Grant's powerful steed. This poignant detail symbolizes both the valor and sacrifice exhibited during this brutal conflict. The Battle of Shiloh was a pivotal engagement in the Western Theater of the Civil War. Initially caught off guard by an unexpected Confederate attack led by General Albert Johnston, Grant's Army of West Tennessee fought fiercely to repel their adversaries through relentless counter-attacks. With over 10,000 casualties on each side and marked by its sheer brutality, this battle forever changed America's perception of warfare. Tragically, it also claimed Johnston's life as he fell during these harrowing clashes. Preserved within the Free Library of Philadelphia's Print and Picture Collection since its creation in 1862, this engraving serves as a haunting reminder not only of our nation's turbulent past but also honors those who bravely fought for their beliefs during this tumultuous period in American history.
