The lithograph by Henry Alexander Ogden captures his commanding presence amidst the chaos and smoke-filled air. Confederate soldiers fought fiercely against Union forces, leaving an indelible imprint on both sides. The Second Battle of Bull Run unfolded in 1862, depicted vividly through Currier & Ives' contemporary lithograph. Rebel bayonets pierced wounded Union soldiers, showcasing the brutality of war. This clash further intensified tensions between North and South. A broadside announcing the First Battle serves as a reminder of how news spread during those tumultuous times.
