EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a significant moment in American history during the Civil War. The image showcases the power and might of the Union army as they prepare for battle near Yorktown, Virginia in May 1862. The focal point of the photo is a group of officers from the Connecticut Heavy Artillery standing proudly beside their formidable weapons - 13 inch seacoast mortars. These massive cannons were crucial to the Union's strategy, providing long-range firepower against Confederate forces. The scene exudes an air of determination and unity as these brave men gather around Battery Number 4, ready to defend their cause. The midday sun casts dramatic shadows on their faces, highlighting their resolve amidst uncertain times. James F. Gibson skillfully captured this historic moment with his camera lens, freezing it in time for future generations to witness. His attention to detail allows us to appreciate not only the military precision but also the human stories behind each face present in this photograph. As we gaze upon this print today, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by both sides during one of America's darkest chapters. It serves as a powerful reminder that even amidst conflict and division, there is strength in unity and hope for a better tomorrow.
