EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Earl van Dorn, a Confederate major-general during the American Civil War. Painted by J Rogers, this portrait showcases Van Dorn's commanding presence and military uniform, reflecting his role as a prominent figure in 19th-century America. However, behind this stoic facade lies a tragic tale. In 1863, Van Dorn met an untimely demise at his headquarters when he was shot and killed by Dr George Peters. The doctor claimed that Van Dorn had been involved in an affair with his wife, fueling jealousy and leading to this fateful act. The engraving from volume III of "The War with the South: A History of the Late Rebellion" provides historical context to this somber event. Authored by Robert Tomes and Benjamin G Smith, it offers insights into the turbulent times of war-torn America. As we gaze upon this monochrome image, we are reminded not only of Van Dorn's military prowess but also of the personal tragedies that unfolded during those tumultuous years. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers like Van Dorn on both sides of the conflict. Through its powerful portrayal and historical significance, J Rogers' artwork immortalizes Earl van Dorn within our collective memory as one who fought valiantly for his country but ultimately fell victim to personal turmoil amidst wartime chaos.
