EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "The Battle for Stone River or Murfreesboro, 1863" by Alfred E. Mathews, offers a glimpse into the intense conflict that took place during the American Civil War. The print measures 53x68.5 cm and is part of the Gilder Lehrman Collection in New York. The artwork depicts General Palmer's Division, along with Colonel Scribner's and Colonel John Beatty's Brigades, as well as the Regular Brigade on December 31st, 1862. From the perspective of the 15th and 19th Regulars supporting Guenther's and Loomis Batteries, Mathews skillfully captures the chaos and intensity of battle. Although slightly faded over time, this lithograph provides a detailed description of the participants involved in this significant engagement at Stones River. It showcases an aerial view of a rural landscape marred by violence and destruction. As winter sets in on this battlefield near Murfreesboro, Tennessee, Union troops fiercely engage their Confederate counterparts amidst cannons firing and armies clashing. This image serves as a poignant reminder of both the bravery displayed by soldiers on both sides and the devastating toll war takes on landscapes once untouched by conflict. "The Battle for Stone River or Murfreesboro" transports us back to one of America's bloodiest battles fought during its darkest period—a testament to our nation's resilience even in times of great division.
