EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful photograph captures the compassionate and dedicated work of Dr. Anson Hurd, a member of the 14th Indiana Volunteers during the Civil War. Taken by renowned photographer Alexander Gardner in September 1862, near Keedysville, Maryland, this image showcases Dr. Hurd attending to wounded Confederate soldiers during the Antietam campaign. In the midst of a chaotic battlefield, Dr. Hurd stands tall as he tends to these injured men with unwavering commitment and skill. The intensity on his face reflects both the urgency of his task and his determination to provide quality medical care amidst the horrors of war. Surrounded by fellow Union troops and Confederate soldiers lying on cots, this scene highlights not only Dr. Hurd's selflessness but also serves as a poignant reminder that humanity transcends political allegiances even in times of conflict. The composition expertly captures the middle ground between two opposing forces - North and South - symbolizing how medicine can bridge divides and offer solace to those suffering regardless of their affiliation.
