EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Americus V. Rice of Ohio, a prominent figure in 19th-century America. The creator of this powerful portrait remains unknown, but the image itself speaks volumes about Rice's multifaceted life. Americus V. Rice was not just a politician; he embodied the spirit of an era defined by resilience and determination. Serving as both a banker and businessman, his influence extended far beyond the political realm. However, it was his service in the Union Army that truly set him apart. As a soldier, he fought valiantly in two infantry regiments - the 21st Ohio Infantry and the 57th Ohio Infantry - during some of the most pivotal moments of American history. The Battle of Kennesaw Mountain left its mark on Rice both physically and emotionally; he lost his right leg due to injuries sustained during this fierce conflict. Yet even amputation could not deter him from pursuing his goals or contributing to society. Rice's bearded countenance exudes strength and wisdom, reflecting his role as a respected officer and representative for Ohio between 1865 and 1880. This portrait captures not only an individual but also represents an entire nation grappling with post-Civil War challenges. Preserved within glass negatives at the Library of Congress' Congressional Library collection, this photograph serves as a reminder of our country's rich heritage while honoring those who dedicated their lives to shaping its future.
