EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in American history - "The Burnside Expedition Landing at Roanoke Island, February 7th 1862". The engraving, created by A. J. Richards in the 19th century, showcases the arrival of Federal General Ambrose Everett Burnside and his troops on this strategic island during the American Civil War. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are transported back to that fateful day when Union soldiers disembarked from paddle boats onto the sandy shores of Roanoke Island. The landscape is rugged yet beautiful, with rolling hills and towering trees framing the scene. In the distance, we catch a glimpse of other boats anchored along the coast - a testament to the scale of this military operation. The presence of these brave soldiers reminds us of their unwavering determination to uphold their cause. With every step they take on that foreign soil, they inch closer towards victory against Confederate forces who had surrendered control over this vital outpost. This photograph not only captures a pivotal moment in history but also serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by those who fought for what they believed in. It stands as an enduring symbol of resilience and bravery amidst one of America's darkest chapters - forever etched into our collective memory.
