EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a significant moment in American history - the Civil War. Titled "CIVIL WAR: UNION MORTARS" the image showcases 13-inch seacoast mortars of Federal Battery Number 4, accompanied by officers from the Connecticut Heavy Artillery. The scene unfolds near Yorktown, Virginia, in May 1862. Photographer James F. Gibson skillfully frames this snapshot of military might during a time of great conflict. The massive mortars stand tall and imposing, ready to unleash their destructive power upon any opposing force that dares to challenge the Union Army. The men surrounding these formidable weapons exude determination and courage as they prepare for battle on the South-Eastern frontlines. Their presence serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by countless troops throughout this turbulent period in American history. This photograph is part of The Granger Collection's Carousel Collection, which offers an invaluable glimpse into our nation's past. It transports viewers back to a time when artillery played a crucial role in shaping the outcome of war. As we reflect upon this image today, it serves as both a tribute to those who fought bravely during the Civil War and a testament to human resilience amidst adversity. Let us remember their sacrifice and strive for unity so that such conflicts may never be repeated again on American soil.
