EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a poignant moment in American history as President Jefferson Davis of the Confederate States bids farewell to his escort two days before his capture by the Union Army in May 1865. The image, published by Illustrated London News on July 8, 1865, shows Davis standing alone on a road, his horse having been left behind, as he gazes off into the distance. The Union soldiers who had been escorting him can be seen in the background, riding away. The American Civil War, which had raged from 1861 to 1865, had taken a heavy toll on both sides. Davis, who had been a United States Senator and Secretary of War before becoming the President of the Confederate States, had led his country through some of its darkest hours. But with General Robert E. Lee's surrender at Appomattox Court House on April 9, 1865, the Confederacy's defeat was all but certain. Davis's capture on May 10, 1865, in Irwinville, Georgia, marked the effective end of the Confederate States of America. He was taken to Fort Monroe in Virginia, where he was held until being exiled to Fortress Monroe in the Bahamas in 1866. This historical image, with its evocative depiction of Davis's farewell to his escort, offers a glimpse into a pivotal moment in American history, one that marked the end of the Civil War and the beginning of the long road to reconciliation and healing.
