EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and historically significant print captures "The Battle of Oriskany in 1777" with remarkable detail and color. Created by Frederick Coffay Yohn in the early 1930s, this lithograph brings to life one of the bloodiest battles of the American Revolutionary War. Taking place on August 6,1777, The Battle of Oriskany was a crucial engagement during the Saratoga campaign. In this particular battle, almost all participants were North Americans themselves - Loyalists and allied Native American tribes fighting against Patriots and their Oneida allies. Notably absent were British soldiers. The scene depicted showcases the intensity and destruction that unfolded on that fateful day. Soldiers from both sides engage fiercely amidst a chaotic battlefield filled with smoke, gunfire, and wounded comrades. This image serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by those who fought for independence during this turbulent time in history. As we observe this artwork today, we are reminded not only of the bravery displayed by these soldiers but also of their injuries and deaths endured for their cause. It is a testament to their resilience that they continued to fight despite such adversity. This print offers us an opportunity to reflect upon our nation's past struggles while honoring those who played pivotal roles in shaping our future as an independent country.
