EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection titled "Night Scout Southwest Surprise Outpost Survey" takes us back to a significant moment in American history. The image, originally published as a wood engraving in Harper's Weekly on April 4,1863, depicts an intense scene during the Civil War. The artwork by Thomas Nast, an American artist born in Germany, showcases Union scouts overpowering Confederate lookouts at a night outpost along the Mississippi River. This particular outpost was crucial for both sides as control over the riverfront greatly influenced the outcome of the war. In this dramatic portrayal, we witness rebel guns firing into the dark sky while Union soldiers stealthily advance towards their target. The tension is palpable as they navigate through rugged terrain under cover of darkness. Nast's attention to detail brings every element to life - from the swirling smoke rising from cannons to the determined expressions on each soldier's face. This print serves as a reminder of Ulysses S. Grant's relentless campaigns throughout 1861 that ultimately led to Union success in gaining control over strategic territories like this one. It symbolizes not only his military prowess but also highlights how vital intelligence gathering and scouting were during this time. As we gaze upon this historic snapshot frozen in time, we are transported back to an era where bravery and sacrifice shaped our nation's destiny.
