EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white pencil drawing by Alfred R. Waud transports us back to the heart of the American Civil War. The image depicts a crucial moment during the Battle of Cold Harbor in June 1864, where Coehorn mortars are being fired by the Union Army. Positioned in an open field, a line of determined gunners stands ready to unleash their deadly firepower upon Confederate forces. The intensity of this scene is palpable as smoke billows from the barrels and flames erupt from each mortar's mouth. The artist skillfully captures the chaos and violence that defined this brutal conflict. Amidst the turmoil, one can almost hear the thunderous roar of exploding shells and feel the ground tremble beneath their feet. Waud's attention to detail is remarkable; every figure is meticulously rendered, showcasing both individual bravery and collective unity in facing such adversity. This drawing serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by countless men on both sides during this tumultuous period in American history. As we gaze upon this historical artifact, we are transported back to those hallowed battlefields where brave soldiers fought for what they believed in – freedom or secession – forever etching their names into our nation's story.
