EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases General Thomas Ewing, a prominent figure in American history during the mid-19th century. The image, captured between 1860 and 1875 by an unknown photographer, portrays General Ewing as a distinguished man with a commanding presence. General Thomas Ewing was not only an accomplished military officer but also a respected politician and lawyer. Serving as the first chief justice of Kansas, he played a crucial role in shaping the state's legal system. Additionally, he held the rank of colonel in the 11th Kansas Infantry during the American Civil War. The photograph highlights General Ewing's striking beard and facial hair, which were popular fashion choices of that era for men of distinction. His attire reflects his position as both a military officer and statesman. Tragically, General Thomas Ewing met his untimely demise when struck by a New York City omnibus. This unfortunate incident cut short the life of this remarkable individual who had dedicated himself to serving his country and advocating for soldiers' welfare through his involvement with Ohio Soldiers and Sailors Orphans Home. Preserved within the Library of Congress' collection, this portrait captures not only one man's legacy but also represents an important period in American history characterized by political turmoil and social change. It serves as a poignant reminder of those who shaped our nation during challenging times.
