1862 Burnside Crossing Franklin Hooker Morning Potomac Sumner Rappahannock
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts a pivotal moment in the Battle of Fredericksburg, which took place on December 13, 1862. The Army of the Potomac, under the command of Generals Burnside, Sumner, Hooker, and Franklin, are seen crossing the Rappahannock River in the early morning hours. The river, usually calm and serene, is now a chaotic and turbulent obstacle that the Union soldiers must overcome in order to engage the Confederate forces on the opposite bank. The scene is set against the backdrop of winter, with trees barren of leaves and the ground covered in snow. Smoke rises from the fires of the camps, and the soldiers wade through the icy water, some carrying their rifles, others clinging to boats or helping their comrades across. The determination and grit of the Union soldiers is palpable as they bravely face the challenges of the battle ahead. This print, created around 1888, serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the American Civil War. It also highlights the leadership of Generals Burnside, Sumner, Hooker, and Franklin, who led their troops through this crucial crossing and into the heart of the battle. The image captures the raw emotion and intensity of the moment, making it a valuable historical document and an inspiring work of art.
