EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Jefferson Columbus Davis, a Union general who served from 1862 to 1867. The artist behind this remarkable piece is J Rogers, and the photograph was taken by Brady. Davis's name may sound familiar as he shares it with the Confederate President, but his actions during the American Civil War set him apart. In a tragic incident on September 29,1862, Davis shot and killed his superior officer, Major General William Bull Nelson, following an argument. Despite this shocking act, Davis managed to escape imprisonment due to the urgent need for experienced commanders in the Union Army. The engraving featured here is from volume III of "The War with the South: A History of the Late Rebellion" by Robert Tomes and Benjamin G Smith. It offers us a glimpse into Davis's appearance during that tumultuous time in history. After his service in the Civil War ended, Davis went on to become Alaska's first commander of the Department of Alaska from 1868 to 1870. This additional role demonstrates his versatility as a military leader. In this black and white portrait, we see Davis donning his military uniform with pride while sporting an impressive beard—a common feature among men of that era. His commanding presence reflects both strength and determination. This print serves as a powerful reminder of one man's complex journey through war and leadership during a pivotal period in American history.
