EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Benjamin Franklin Butler, a pivotal figure in American military history, during his command of the New Orleans expedition in 1864. Born on November 5, 1818, Butler was a Union Army general and politician who rose to prominence during the Civil War. Known for his unconventional tactics and strong leadership, Butler played a crucial role in securing key victories for the Union cause. In this image, Butler is depicted in military uniform, exuding confidence and determination. The backdrop of the photograph is a barren landscape, emphasizing the raw power and intensity of the military presence. The year is 1864, a pivotal moment in the Civil War as the Union forces were making significant strides towards victory. Butler's most notable achievement during this time was his successful capture of New Orleans, which occurred on May 1, 1862. He led the Union troops in a daring amphibious assault, outmaneuvering the Confederate forces and securing the strategic city. This victory was a significant morale booster for the Union army and demonstrated their ability to take the fight to the enemy in the South. The photograph was taken before Butler's command of the New Orleans expedition, but it captures the essence of his military prowess and leadership abilities. Butler continued to serve the Union cause until the end of the war, and later went on to have a distinguished political career. He passed away on January 13, 1893, leaving behind a legacy as a transformative military leader and a dedicated public servant.
