EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Capture of Fort Fisher" takes us back to a significant moment in American history. Published in 1887, this color lithograph by Julian Oliver Davidson depicts the Union troops led by General Alfred Howe Terry during their victorious assault on Fort Fisher on January 15th, 1865. The image showcases the intensity and chaos of battle as smoke billows from cannons and gunfire fills the air. The Union soldiers are seen bravely storming the fort while Confederate defenders put up a fierce resistance. Paddle steamers can be spotted along the coastline, providing support for the attacking forces. The capture of Fort Fisher was a pivotal event in the Civil War, marking a major blow to Confederate defenses along North Carolina's coast. This victory allowed Union forces to gain control over Wilmington, an important supply route for the Confederacy. Through this vivid portrayal, we witness not only the physical confrontation between opposing sides but also glimpse into the challenges faced by soldiers on both ends. The wounded lie scattered across the battlefield as medical personnel attend to their injuries with limited resources. This historical print serves as a reminder of America's tumultuous past and honors those who fought valiantly during one of its darkest periods. It is an invaluable piece that captures both bravery and sacrifice amidst conflict and stands as a testament to our nation's resilience.
