EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood engraving from the 19th century depicts General Nathanael Greene and his army skillfully evading the British forces by crossing the Dan River on February 15,1781. The scene showcases a moment of triumph for the American Revolution as they successfully make their way from North Carolina into Virginia. In this detailed print, we see General Greene seated on horseback, wearing a hat and accompanied by his loyal dog. He gazes confidently across the river as his troops navigate rowboats with oars in hand. The soldiers are depicted in various positions, some standing with muskets at the ready while others sit calmly in rowboats or rest under shade trees along the riverbank. The artist has captured not only the military aspect of this historic event but also elements of nature and everyday life during that time period. The scenic view includes a dense forest backdrop, adding to the sense of adventure and escape. An African American soldier is prominently featured among Greene's troops, highlighting their diverse composition. This wood engraving serves as a powerful reminder of General Nathanael Greene's strategic brilliance and leadership during one of many pivotal moments in America's fight for independence. It immortalizes an important chapter in our nation's history when determination and resourcefulness led to victory against overwhelming odds.
