EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, captured between 1900 and 1901 by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston, offers a glimpse into the past as it depicts a scene at Snicker's Gap in the Blue Ridge Mountains. The image shows a group of African American children, dressed in simple clothing, standing on a fence as they watch in awe as Johnston's stagecoach passes by. The children's curious expressions and the excited barking of the dogs in the background add to the sense of excitement and wonderment. The photograph holds historical significance as it was taken during Johnston's journey to document the route where General Philip Sheridan rode on October 19, 1864. Sheridan, a prominent Union general during the American Civil War, led his troops through the Blue Ridge Mountains in pursuit of Confederate forces, making this area an important part of American military history. The photograph is an excellent representation of life in rural America during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The children, with their carefree demeanor, embody the innocence and curiosity of youth, while the fence and the mountain range in the background serve as a reminder of the natural beauty and rugged terrain of the region. This image is a valuable addition to any collection of American history, cultural heritage, or photography.
