EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the solemn beauty of Rostrum, the pavilion at Vicksburg National Military Cemetery in Mississippi, USA, circa 1906. The image, a dry plate negative, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back over a century to a time when this hallowed ground held the final resting place for thousands of soldiers who lost their lives during the American Civil War. The pavilion, or Rostrum, stands proudly in the center of the cemetery, its columns supporting a grand archway. The structure, a testament to the enduring legacy of those who served, is adorned with intricate carvings and ornate details. The scene is set against a backdrop of rolling hills and lush greenery, the quiet stillness of the landscape broken only by the occasional headstone or grave marker. The photograph, from the collection of the Library of Congress, offers a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during a pivotal moment in American history. The image invites us to reflect on the heritage and history of our country, and the importance of preserving the stories and memories of those who came before us. Vicksburg National Military Cemetery, located in Vicksburg, Mississippi, is the final resting place for over 17,000 Union soldiers who died during the Siege of Vicksburg in 1863. The cemetery, established by an act of Congress in 1866, is a National Historic Landmark and a testament to the enduring legacy of the American military.
