American Civil War Artillery Covered Wagon

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a pivotal moment during the American Civil War. Taken on August 9th, 1862, it showcases a Federal battery fording a tributary of the river Rappahannock on battle day at Cedar Mountain in Virginia. The image portrays the harsh realities faced by soldiers as they navigate treacherous terrain in their quest for victory. The scene is filled with action and intensity. A cannon, pulled by horses and accompanied by a wagon, trudges through the water while artillerymen guide its progress. The covered wagons hint at the logistical challenges faced by armies during this tumultuous time. The Battle of Cedar Mountain was part of the Northern Virginia Campaign and ended in Confederate victory. This photo serves as a poignant reminder of those who fought bravely on both sides of this conflict that divided a nation. Preserved within a private collection, this historic snapshot offers us an invaluable glimpse into one particular moment amidst the chaos and violence that defined this era in American history. As we reflect upon these events from over a century ago, let us remember the sacrifices made by those involved and strive to learn from our past so that we may build towards peace and unity for future generations.
