General Lew Wallace - A Literary Soldier of Fortune
EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the enigmatic figure of General Lew Wallace (1827-1905), an American soldier, writer, and diplomat, best known for penning the epic novel "Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ" (1880). Wallace's piercing gaze and expressive features, framed by a well-groomed pince-nez and a thick beard, convey a sense of both intellectual intensity and military resolve. Born in Brookville, Indiana, Wallace's military career began in the Mexican-American War, where he rose to the rank of brevet major general. He later served as Governor of New Mexico Territory and as the United States Minister to the Ottoman Empire. However, it was his literary pursuits that would cement his place in history. "Ben-Hur," an intricately plotted tale of revenge and redemption, became an international sensation upon its publication. The novel's success allowed Wallace to retire from military life and focus on his writing. He went on to write numerous other works, including "The Fair God" and "The Man Without a Country." Despite his literary accomplishments, Wallace's military background remained a significant part of his identity. The stern expression and impeccable uniform in this photograph underscore his military past, while the presence of a quill pen and inkwell on the table beside him hint at his dual role as a soldier-scholar. This Sarony photograph, taken in the late 19th century, offers a glimpse into the complex and multifaceted life of a man who defied easy categorization. From the battlefield to the page, General Lew Wallace left an indelible mark on American literature and history.
