EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage engraving from 1863 showcases a detailed map of Fort Jackson, Louisiana. Steeped in historical significance, this fort was the site of the intense Battle of Forts Jackson and St. Philip during the American Civil War. The Confederate-controlled stronghold endured a grueling 12-day siege by the fleet commanded by U. S. Navy Flag Officer David Farragut. On April 28,1862, after relentless bombardment from Union forces and their subsequent sailing past its guns, Fort Jackson finally succumbed to defeat. However, victory did not come without further turmoil as a mutiny against officers and dire conditions ensued within the fort's walls. The captivating print captures both the cartography of this strategic location and its surrounding wall with remarkable precision. It transports us back to an era when war raged across these lands, reminding us of the sacrifices made by soldiers on both sides. As we gaze upon this piece of history rendered in exquisite 19th-century style, it serves as a poignant reminder of our nation's tumultuous past and how far we have come since those dark days. Let us honor those who fought bravely at Fort Jackson while cherishing our hard-won unity today.
