Preserving History - A Glimpse into the Mighty Rodman Gun
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print from the Kean Collection takes us back to a significant moment in American history. Captured circa 1865, it showcases an awe-inspiring sight - the imposing 15-inch Rodman gun stationed at Battery Rodgers in Alexandria, Virginia. The image transports us to a time when this massive artillery piece stood as a symbol of strength and defense. The Rodman gun was named after its inventor, Thomas Jackson Rodman, who revolutionized artillery manufacturing during the Civil War era. This particular cannon played a crucial role in safeguarding Alexandria's strategic position along the Potomac River during those tumultuous times. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph, we can almost feel the weight of history resting on our shoulders. The sheer size and power of the Rodman gun are evident; its barrel towering above everything else around it. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and engineering prowess. Through this evocative print, we are reminded of how far our nation has come since those days of conflict and division. It stands as a tribute to all those who fought bravely for their beliefs and reminds us that even amidst turmoil, there is always room for progress and unity. In preserving such historical artifacts through visual artistry like this photograph by Kean Collection, we honor our past while also inspiring future generations to learn from it.
