EDITORS COMMENTS
This pencil drawing by Edwin Forbes takes us back to the heart of the American Civil War in 1863. The image depicts a young Union drummer boy standing tall at Beverly Ford, Virginia, on August 11th. Dressed in his uniform, he proudly represents the brave soldiers who fought for their cause during this tumultuous period. Forbes' attention to detail is evident as he skillfully captures every fold and crease of the drummer boy's clothing. The intensity on his face reflects the weight of responsibility that rests upon his shoulders - using his drum to communicate vital commands amidst chaos and battle. The setting itself adds depth to this historical snapshot. Beverly Ford, located in southeastern Virginia, was witness to numerous clashes between Union and Confederate forces during the war. This particular moment frozen in time allows us a glimpse into one soldier's experience within these turbulent times. As we observe this artwork from over a century ago, it serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by countless individuals during one of America's darkest chapters. It immortalizes not only an individual but also symbolizes resilience and determination exhibited by all those who fought for their beliefs. Edwin Forbes' masterful rendering transports us back to that era when conflicts tore apart our nation but ultimately paved the way towards unity and progress.
