EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'General Patterson' and dating back to 1849, showcases Robert Patterson, an Irish-born American soldier who rose to prominence during the American Civil War. The image is taken from 'Pictorial History of Mexico and the Mexican War' by John Frost, LL.D., published by Thomas, Cowperthwait and Co. in Philadelphia. Robert Patterson's military career began in the United States Army, where he donned the distinctive uniform adorned with epaulettes, a common feature of military apparel during the 19th century. The image captures the general's stern gaze, conveying a sense of determination and authority. Patterson's military career spanned various locations and conflicts, including the Mexican-American War. His portrait stands as a testament to the fashion and concepts of the time, with the uniform and accessories reflecting the military's rigorous standards and the era's emphasis on order and discipline. John Frost, the author of 'Pictorial History of Mexico and the Mexican War,' was a prominent figure in his own right, holding the title of Doctor of Laws (LL.D.). The publication of this book, which includes this portrait of General Patterson, showcases the rich history and diverse cast of characters involved in the American Civil War and the Mexican-American War. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the history, fashion, and the individuals who shaped the United States during the 19th century.
