EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood engraving from a contemporary American newspaper captures the intense naval battle that took place during the Civil War. The image depicts a Union squadron, anchored at the mouth of the mighty Mississippi River, under attack by a Confederate fleet led by Commodore George Nichols Hollins on the fateful night of October 12th, 1861. The scene is filled with action and tension as warships clash in a fierce struggle for control over this strategic waterway. Flames engulf one of the vessels, creating an ominous glow against the darkened sky. The Union sailors valiantly defend their position while facing relentless attacks from their Confederate counterparts. This print serves as a visual testament to the brutal realities faced by both sides during this tumultuous period in American history. It showcases not only the technological advancements in maritime warfare but also highlights the bravery and determination exhibited by those who fought on these treacherous waters. As we gaze upon this historic image, we are reminded of how deeply divided our nation once was and how far we have come since then. It stands as a reminder of our collective past and serves as an important symbol of unity and resilience that continues to shape our present-day America.
