EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the stern yet compassionate visage of Samuel Wylie Crawford (1829-1892), an esteemed American surgeon who served in the Union army during the tumultuous period of the War between the States. Crawford's military career began in earnest in 1861, when he enlisted as a surgeon in the 153rd Pennsylvania Volunteers. He would go on to distinguish himself at several key battles, most notably Gettysburg, where he worked tirelessly to save the lives of wounded soldiers under the intense pressure of battle. Crawford's presence at the Appomattox Court House in April 1865, where General Robert E. Lee surrendered to Union General Ulysses S. Grant, further solidified his place in history. As a surgeon in the Union army's medical department, Crawford played a crucial role in the care of the thousands of soldiers who were wounded during the long and bloody conflict. Despite the horrors of war, Crawford's dedication to his patients never wavered. He was known for his skill, his compassion, and his unwavering commitment to saving lives. After the war, Crawford returned to civilian life, continuing to practice medicine and make important contributions to the field of surgery. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by men like Crawford during the Civil War, and the vital role that medical professionals play in times of conflict. The creases and wrinkles on Crawford's face tell the story of a man who bore witness to history and left an indelible mark on it.
