EDITORS COMMENTS
CIVIL WAR: REFUGEES, 1862. A poignant portrayal of the devastating impact of the Civil War on innocent lives, this print captures a group of refugees from southern Missouri in 1862. Driven from their homesteads by the Confederate Army, these men, women, and children find solace and temporary respite near Union Army General Franz Sigel's camp at Rolla, Missouri. The image depicts a scene filled with both despair and resilience. The weary faces of the refugees reflect the hardships they have endured as they gather around a campfire to seek warmth in the harsh winter months. Covered wagons stand nearby, symbolizing their displacement and uncertain future. In this midwestern landscape ravaged by war, families huddle together for support while trying to maintain some semblance of normalcy amidst chaos. Women tend to their children with unwavering determination while men contemplate an uncertain fate. This wood engraving serves as a powerful reminder that war knows no boundaries; it disrupts not only battlefields but also peaceful homes far away from frontlines. It is a testament to human strength in times of adversity and highlights the profound sacrifices made by civilians during one of America's darkest periods. As we gaze upon this historical artifact captured through artistry and preserved over time by Granger Art on Demand, let us remember those who were uprooted from their homes during this tumultuous era.
