EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood engraving from 1852 depicts a significant moment in American history - the capture of Stony Point and Verplancks Point on the Hudson River during the Revolutionary War. The British had held and fortified these strategic locations since late May 1779, but their reign came to an end on July 16th of that year when American troops, led by the brave Anthony Wayne, successfully seized control. The intricately detailed map showcases the layout of both forts and highlights their importance in controlling access along the Hudson River. It serves as a visual representation of the determination and bravery displayed by American soldiers during this pivotal time. As we gaze upon this historical print, we are transported back to a time when our nation fought for its independence. We can almost hear the sounds of battle echoing through those hillsides, feel the tension in the air as soldiers strategized their next move. This image is not just a piece of art; it is a window into our past, reminding us of those who sacrificed so much for our freedom. Displayed proudly within Granger Art's Carousel Collection, this wood engraving stands as a testament to America's resilience and unwavering spirit throughout history. It serves as an educational tool for future generations to learn about one chapter in our nation's journey towards liberty.
