EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the distinguished presence of Charles Edward Hooker, a prominent figure in Mississippi during the late 19th century. The image showcases Hooker seated, exuding an air of authority and confidence befitting his rank as Captain in the 1st Regiment of Mississippi Light Artillery. The photograph was taken between 1870 and 1880 by an unknown creator, yet it beautifully portrays Hooker's resilience and determination. It is worth noting that he lost an arm during the siege at Vicksburg, a testament to his bravery on the battlefield. Despite this setback, he rose through the ranks to become Colonel of Cavalry. Hooker's formal attire reflects both his status as a military officer and his fashion sense for the time period. He wears a stylish coat with a bow tie impeccably tied around his neck. His clothing choice exemplifies sophistication while still maintaining practicality. Preserved within glass negatives from this era, this portrait photograph offers us a glimpse into history - not only capturing one man but also representing politicians and political life during that time in America. The print now resides in the Congressional Library as part of their collection. As we admire this striking image today, we are reminded of Charles Edward Hooker's significant contributions to Mississippi's rich heritage and how he overcame adversity to leave behind an enduring legacy.
