EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a pivotal moment in the American Civil War, as President Abraham Lincoln meets with key military leaders at the Battle of Antietam in Maryland on October 3, 1862. Surrounded by a group of generals and officers, Lincoln is seen here in conversation with General George B. McClellan, the commander of the Army of the Potomac. Among those present are Col. Delos B. Sacket, Inspector General; Capt. George Monteith; Lt. Col. Nelson B. Sweitzer; Gen. George W. Morell; Col. Alexander S. Webb, Chief of Staff, 5th Corps; Gen. Henry J. Hunt; Gen. Fitz-John Porter; Col. Frederick T. Locke, AG; Gen. Andrew A. Humphreys; Capt. George Armstrong Custer; Dr. Jonathan Letterman, Army Medical Director; and two unidentified individuals. The Battle of Antietam, also known as the Battle of Sharpsburg, was a significant turning point in the war, as it marked the end of General Robert E. Lee's first invasion of the North and led to President Lincoln's issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation. This powerful image offers a rare glimpse into the inner workings of the Union war effort during this critical period in American history.
