EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, created by Currier & Ives in 1862, depicts the intense Battle of Fort Donelson during the American Civil War. The focal point of the print is Ulysses S. Grant, a prominent general in the Union Army, leading his troops as they storm the fort on February 15th. The scene showcases the chaos and violence that unfolded during this pivotal moment in history. Grant's determined expression reflects his unwavering commitment to securing victory for the Union forces. The lithograph also highlights the devastating consequences of war, with casualties strewn across the battlefield and a solemn reminder of lives lost. The presence of Old Glory proudly waving above Fort Donelson symbolizes not only Union strength but also their fight for unity and freedom against secessionist forces from southern states like Tennessee. This image serves as a testament to Grant's leadership skills and strategic brilliance that ultimately led to an important triumph for Northern forces. As we gaze upon this lithograph today, it offers us a glimpse into one of America's most turbulent periods—a time when our nation was divided by ideology and engaged in a brutal struggle for its soul. It reminds us of both the sacrifices made by those who fought on either side and serves as a powerful historical artifact capturing an essential chapter in our country's story.
