EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases General Ellis Spear, a prominent figure in the American Civil War. Taken between 1870 and 1880, this portrait captures General Spear not in his military uniform but rather in civilian attire. His commanding presence is evident as he gazes directly into the camera with a stern yet thoughtful expression. General Ellis Spear served as an officer in the renowned 20th Maine Volunteer Infantry Regiment of the Union Army during the war. Known for his bravery and strategic acumen, he played a crucial role in several significant battles that shaped America's history. The photograph itself exudes a sense of timelessness, with its rich details preserved on glass negatives from the late 19th century. The unknown creator has expertly captured every intricate detail of General Spear's bearded face and facial hair, adding to his distinguished appearance. Preserved within the Library of Congress' collection, this image serves as both a historical artifact and a testament to General Ellis Spear's contribution to our country. It offers us a glimpse into an era when men like him dedicated their lives to preserving unity amidst division. As we admire this remarkable still image today, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by countless individuals during times of conflict. Their legacy continues to shape our nation and inspire future generations who strive for peace and unity within our great United States of America.
