Terminus of U. S. Military Railroad, City Point, Virginia - A Glimpse into the American Civil War
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This 19th-century albumen print takes us back to a significant moment in history - the Terminus of U. S. Military Railroad in City Point, Virginia during 1861-65. Formerly attributed to Mathew B. Brady but now credited to Andrew Joseph Russell, this image captures the essence of a war-torn country. In this photograph, we see a bustling scene filled with activity and movement. The railway tracks stretch into the distance, symbolizing progress amidst chaos. Boxcars line up along the platform while freight wagons and mule trains transport goods from one place to another. Amidst all this commotion stands Captain A. J. Russell himself - a man who witnessed firsthand the trials and tribulations of war. His presence adds depth and humanity to an otherwise industrial landscape. The James River flows peacefully nearby, serving as a reminder that life continues even in times of conflict. Horses graze calmly in their pasture, oblivious to the turmoil surrounding them. As we gaze upon this remarkable image from our past, we are transported back in time; reminded of the resilience and determination that defined America during its darkest days. Now preserved at The Metropolitan Museum of Art as part of their heritage collection, this photograph by Andrew Joseph Russell serves as both documentation and artistry - capturing not only moments frozen in time but also emotions etched on faces forever engraved within our collective memory.
