EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "North Anna River, 1864" captures a pivotal moment during Grant's Great Campaign in the American Civil War. The image showcases the bravery and determination of the New York Fourteenth Heavy Artillery as they courageously cross Chesterfield Bridge under heavy fire from Confederate troops in May 1864. This wood engraving, created by an anonymous American artist in the same year, vividly depicts the chaos and intensity of warfare. A Union soldier on horseback leads his cavalry troop across the bridge while bombs explode around them. The rider, possibly General Simpson, displays remarkable composure amidst this dangerous situation. The North Anna River served as a significant geographical barrier during this battle. President Ulysses S. Grant recognized its strategic importance and ordered his army to overcome it at all costs. This image immortalizes one such daring attempt by Union forces to secure victory against their Southern counterparts. The print offers a glimpse into the harsh realities faced by soldiers on both sides of this conflict. It serves as a reminder of their sacrifices and unwavering commitment to their respective causes. As we observe this historical photograph today, we are transported back to that turbulent time in America's history when brother fought against brother for ideals that shaped our nation's future forevermore.
