EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "General Sherman's Troops crossing the Edisto River during the March to the Sea" transports us back to a pivotal moment in American history. Created by an English School artist in the 20th century, this print captures the essence of the Savannah Campaign that took place between November and December 1864 during the American Civil War. In this scene, we witness General William Tecumseh Sherman's troops making their way across the Edisto River. The image showcases a group of male soldiers on horseback, leading wagons filled with supplies as they traverse through southern terrain. The artist skillfully depicts both the determination and weariness etched onto their faces as they press forward towards their objective. The lithograph offers a glimpse into one aspect of this historic campaign: withdrawal. As General Sherman led his Union forces on a destructive path from Atlanta to Savannah, he aimed to cripple Confederate resources and morale. This artwork serves as a testament to those brave soldiers who endured harsh conditions and faced countless challenges along their arduous journey. With its intricate details and realistic portrayal of horses and soldiers, this engraving brings forth an air of authenticity that allows viewers to connect with this significant moment in time. It stands as a powerful reminder of sacrifice, resilience, and unwavering determination exhibited by these troops during one of America's most tumultuous periods.
