EDITORS COMMENTS
Andrew Pickens: A Distinguished Figure in American History This portrait showcases Andrew Pickens (1739-1817), an influential American Revolutionary commander and esteemed Member of the US House of Representatives. Born in the backcountry of South Carolina, Pickens rose to prominence as a military leader during the Revolutionary War. He played a pivotal role in several key battles, including the Battle of Cowpens, which turned the tide of the war in the Southern theater. In this striking image, Pickens is depicted in the prime of his life, with a balding head, piercing eyes, and a stern expression. He wears the uniform of a military commander, adorned with epaulettes that signify his rank. The presence of his quill pen and inkwell suggests that he was not only a skilled military leader but also a man of letters. Pickens' service to his country did not end with the Revolution. He went on to serve in the South Carolina Senate and was elected as a Member of the US House of Representatives in 1792. His signature, visible at the bottom right corner of the print, is a testament to his political achievements. Andrew Pickens' legacy extends beyond the battlefield and the halls of Congress. He was a champion of states' rights and played a crucial role in securing South Carolina's independence from Great Britain. This portrait is a reminder of his enduring contributions to American history and the indomitable spirit of those who fought for freedom and self-governance.
