EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intensity of the Great Battle at Wilsons Creek, a historic clash that took place near Springfield, Missouri in 1861. The image showcases the fierce confrontation between two formidable forces: 5,500 Union troops led by Generals Lyon and Siegel on one side, and an overwhelming rebel army of 23,000 soldiers commanded by Generals McCulloch and Price on the other. The engraving from Frank Leslies Pictorial History offers a glimpse into the chaos and devastation that unfolded during this pivotal moment in American history. Amidst a backdrop of smoke-filled skies and scattered bodies lie brave soldiers engaged in combat. Some fight valiantly while others succumb to their injuries or lay wounded on the battlefield. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by both sides during this brutal conflict. It immortalizes names such as General Nathaniel Lyon, Franz Sigel, Benjamin McCulloch, Sterling Price - leaders who played crucial roles in shaping our nation's destiny. As we observe this powerful image from our private collection today, let us reflect upon the bravery displayed by these men who fought for their respective causes with unwavering determination. Their actions have left an indelible mark on American history – reminding us of the immense price paid for freedom and unity.
