EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Major General Ord, accompanied by his wife and child, standing proudly in front of the grand mansion that was once occupied by Jefferson Davis. Taken in 1865 by renowned photographer Mathew Brady, this historic image showcases a significant moment in American history. Dressed impeccably in his military uniform, Major General Ord exudes strength and authority as he poses alongside his elegant wife and adorable child. The couple's formal attire reflects the importance of the occasion, while their expressions convey a sense of pride and accomplishment. The backdrop of the mansion adds an additional layer of significance to this photograph. Once home to Jefferson Davis, who served as President of the Confederate States during the Civil War, it now serves as a symbol of victory for the Union forces. This juxtaposition between past and present highlights the profound changes taking place in Richmond, Virginia at that time. As we gaze upon this remarkable portrait captured over 150 years ago, we are transported back to a pivotal moment in American history. It serves as a reminder not only of Major General Ord's accomplishments but also represents hope for unity and reconciliation after years of conflict.
