The image, an engraving by Alfred R. Waud, is featured in Battles and Leaders of the Civil War, edited by Robert Underwood Johnson and Clarence Clough Buel. The scene depicted showcases the intensity and chaos that unfolded during this particular battle. Flames engulf a section of Union breastworks as smoke billows into the sky, creating an eerie backdrop against which soldiers can be seen engaged in combat. Rifles are raised, firing shots amidst the turmoil. Waud's sketch-like style adds authenticity to this illustration, reminding us that it was created at the time when these events were unfolding. It offers viewers a glimpse into what it might have been like for those who fought bravely on both sides during this tumultuous period. As we observe this powerful image from our vantage point today, we cannot help but feel a sense of reverence for those who sacrificed their lives on these hallowed grounds. This print serves as a poignant reminder of our nation's past struggles and triumphs while honoring those who fought valiantly for their beliefs.
