EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense Charge of General Grant during the Battle of Shiloh in Tennessee, April 1862. Painted by W Ridgway and featuring the artistic talents of Felix Octavius Carr Darley, this engraving depicts a pivotal moment in American history. The Battle of Shiloh was a significant clash in the Western Theatre of the American Civil War. General Albert Johnston's Confederates launched a surprise attack on General Ulysses Grant's Army of West Tennessee. Initially successful, the Confederates were eventually pushed back by relentless Union counter-attacks. With over 10,000 casualties on both sides, this battle became one of the bloodiest in American history at that time. Tragically, General Johnston himself lost his life during this fierce confrontation. In this image, we witness an awe-inspiring scene as mounted soldiers charge forward with sabres drawn amidst clouds of smoke and chaos. The determination etched on their faces reflects their unwavering commitment to victory. This historic print serves as a poignant reminder not only of the bravery displayed by these men but also highlights the devastating toll war takes on both humans and animals alike. Preserved for generations to come, this artwork from volume II of "The War with South: A History of Late Rebellion" provides us with a glimpse into America's past while honoring those who fought valiantly for their beliefs.
