EDITORS COMMENTS
This sepia-toned photograph captures an iconic moment in American history, showcasing General William Sherman and his esteemed generals during the Civil War. Taken by George N. Barnard in 1865, this print from the Gilder Lehrman Collection provides a glimpse into the leadership that shaped the outcome of this pivotal conflict. In this group portrait, we see a distinguished gathering of military minds seated and standing around a table. From left to right, we can identify O. O. Howard, John A. Logan, William B. Hazen, William Sherman himself (1820-1891), Jefferson C. Davis, Henry W. Slocum, Mowett, and Frank T. Blair. The composition exudes authority and camaraderie as these Union Army leaders come together to strategize and discuss their next moves on behalf of their cause. Their military uniforms serve as visual reminders of their dedication to preserving the United States during one of its most challenging periods. Barnard's skillful photography captures every detail with precision while adding depth to each figure's character through light and shadow play. As viewers gaze upon this historic image today, they are transported back in time to witness firsthand the individuals who played vital roles in shaping America's destiny during one of its darkest chapters—the American Civil War.
