Colonel Ephraim Elmer Ellsworth - A Hero of the American Civil War
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the essence of Colonel Ephraim Elmer Ellsworth, a courageous American soldier who made history during the tumultuous times of the 19th century. In this portrait, taken in 1872, we see a distinguished man wearing his military headgear with pride and determination. Ellsworth's story is one that resonates deeply within the hearts of Americans. Born in 1837, he was not only a soldier but also a young Chicago clerk who played an instrumental role in organizing a company of Zouaves for the Union Army at the onset of the Civil War. These troops were known for their unique Algerian-inspired costumes and flamboyant drill techniques. Tragically, Ellsworth became immortalized as he became the first officer to lose his life during this brutal conflict. His sacrifice symbolizes unwavering dedication to his country and serves as a reminder of all those who fought valiantly on both sides. The engraving from "A Child's History of The United States" published by Hess and McDavitt in New York further emphasizes Ellsworth's significance in American history. This powerful image transports us back to that era when men like him stood tall amidst chaos and uncertainty. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, let us remember Colonel Ephraim Elmer Ellsworth - an emblematic figure whose bravery echoes through time, reminding us never to forget those who have sacrificed everything for our nation's freedom.
