EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases General Samuel Davis Sturgis, a prominent figure in American military history. The exact date of the photograph is unknown but it was taken between 1855 and 1865, during a time when Sturgis actively participated in significant conflicts such as the Mexican-American War, the American Civil War, and Indian Wars. In this portrait, General Sturgis exudes an air of authority and strength. His well-groomed beard and goatee frame his face, adding to his distinguished appearance. Dressed in a military uniform with intricate detailing, he stands tall as a symbol of bravery and dedication to his country. The photographer behind this remarkable image remains unidentified but their skillful use of photography captures every detail with precision. The glass negative used for this print adds depth to the image while preserving its historical significance.
