EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history - the Battle of Kenesaw Mountain and the tragic death of General Polk. Published in 1896, this engraving by Alfred Rudolph Waud depicts the intense conflict that took place during the American Civil War. The Battle of Kenesaw Mountain occurred on June 27,1864, as part of the Atlanta Campaign. General Leonidas Polk, a prominent Confederate general and bishop, met his untimely demise on June 14 while scouting for enemy positions on Pine Mountain. Accompanied by fellow Confederate generals William J. Hardee and Joseph E. Johnston, Polk's life was cut short due to shrapnel from an explosion. Engraved by Philip Meeder, this image showcases the chaos and devastation that unfolded during this significant battle. The uniformed soldiers can be seen amidst clouds of smoke and debris caused by shell explosions. This historic event took place in Georgia's Kennesaw Mountain region. Preserved within a private collection today, this print serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during one of America's bloodiest conflicts. It offers viewers a glimpse into the bravery and tragedy experienced by those who fought for their respective causes. As we reflect upon this image from Fine Art Finder's Stapleton Collection, it is important to remember the impact that war has had on our nation's history and honor those who gave their lives in service to their beliefs.
