EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the image of William Godshalk, a prominent figure from Pennsylvania during the years 1865-1880. The creator of this photograph remains unknown, adding an air of mystery to the portrait. Godshalk was not only a politician but also served as a soldier in the Union Army during the American Civil War. He enlisted as a private in Company K of the 153rd Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry on October 11,1862, and continued his service until July 23,1863. The photograph showcases Godshalk's distinguished appearance with his full beard and facial hair that were common among men during that era. His stern expression reflects both his political career and military background. Preserved within glass negatives from the Brady Handy Collection at the Library of Congress, this stereoscopic image provides us with a glimpse into nineteenth-century America. It serves as a testament to Godshalk's dedication to his country and highlights his contributions as both a politician and soldier. As we admire this still image today, it is important to remember those who have shaped our nation's history through their commitment and sacrifice. This portrait stands as an enduring tribute to William Godshalk's legacy in United States politics and military service during one of its most challenging periods.
