EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history during the Civil War: the 7 Days Battles. In this wood engraving from a contemporary American newspaper, we witness Union forces led by General William B. Franklin executing a strategic retreat on June 29,1862. As the image unfolds before our eyes, we see Union soldiers setting fire to stores they were unable to transport. The flames flicker and dance against the darkening sky as these brave men fall back under cover of darkness. Their objective? To secure defensive positions that will protect their troops and resources. The scene is filled with tension and urgency as these soldiers navigate through Virginia's South Eastern region, known for its revolutionary spirit. Amidst this chaos, an artilleryman stands tall in the middle ground, symbolizing the power and might of both sides engaged in this brutal conflict. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by those who fought during one of America's bloodiest wars—the Civil War. It encapsulates not only the physical battles but also highlights logistical challenges faced by armies on both sides. Through this historical lens, we gain insight into the determination and resilience displayed by Union forces like never before. This remarkable image transports us back to that fateful day in 1862 when General Franklin's army fought valiantly for what they believed in—a united nation torn apart by division but ultimately bound together again through perseverance and sacrifice.
