EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored woodcut print takes us back to the heart of the American Civil War in 1863. Titled "Foraging Confederate soldiers taking homemade pies from a farmhouse during Morgans Raid" it vividly captures a moment of desperation and hunger amidst the chaos of war. In this scene, we see a group of Confederate cavalry soldiers on horseback, their rifles slung across their backs as they approach an old farmstead. The weary men, representing Morgan's raiders, have ventured into Ohio from Kentucky in search of supplies to sustain their rebellion against the Union forces. With food scarce and rations running low, these soldiers resort to foraging for sustenance. In an act that blurs lines between enemy territories and personal needs, they seize the opportunity presented by a humble farmhouse with its tantalizing aroma wafting through the air. The illustration beautifully depicts both the historic significance and human aspects of this event. It reminds us that even amid conflict, basic necessities like food become paramount concerns for those engaged in battle. This image serves as a poignant reminder of how war affects not only armies but also civilians caught in its path. As we gaze upon this artwork from North Wind Picture Archives, we are transported back to an era when survival was uncertain and humanity prevailed amidst strife.
