EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a tragic moment in American history - the assassination of General William Bull Nelson by fellow Union Army general, Jefferson C. Davis. The incident took place during a heated argument at the Galt House in Louisville, Kentucky, in 1862. This wood engraving from that same year provides a glimpse into this shocking event. In the image, we see General Nelson dressed in his Union Army uniform, standing face to face with General Davis. Tensions are high as their disagreement escalates. Suddenly, amidst the chaos and anger, Davis draws his revolver and fires upon Nelson with deadly intent. The engraving beautifully depicts the intensity of this fateful encounter - capturing not only the physical act of shooting but also conveying the emotional turmoil present within both men. It serves as a haunting reminder of how even those fighting for a common cause can be torn apart by internal conflicts during times of war. This piece is an important historical artifact that sheds light on one individual's tragic fate amid the larger context of America's Civil War. It stands as a testament to the complexities and personal sacrifices endured by soldiers on both sides throughout this tumultuous period in our nation's past.
