EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history during the Civil War. Titled "CIVIL WAR: SANTA ROSA, 1861" it depicts the Confederate attack on Colonel William Wilson's camp on Santa Rosa Island, Florida, on October 9th, 1861. The wood engraving beautifully brings to life a sketch by Charles Allgouer. In this intense scene, we witness the chaos and bravery of both sides as they engage in battle. The exterior setting showcases the rugged terrain of Santa Rosa Island, with its sandy shores and dense vegetation serving as witnesses to this historic event. Colonel William Wilson stands at the forefront of his camp, leading his troops against the Confederate forces. Both Union Army soldiers and Confederate men can be seen locked in combat throughout the image. This clash represents not only a physical struggle but also embodies the larger conflict tearing apart America during that time. The location itself holds significance as well - situated along Florida's Gulf Coast and overlooking the Gulf of Mexico. This strategic position made Santa Rosa Island an important battleground for control over key coastal areas. Through this powerful wood engraving after Charles Allgouer's sketch, viewers are transported back to one pivotal moment in our nation's history - a reminder of sacrifice and valor displayed by those who fought for their beliefs during one of America's darkest times.
