Interesting Civil War Drawings

There are a couple of websites out there devoted to the drawings of a Confederate POW at Point Lookout, Maryland. They are amazing. I found the link at the Library of Congress site.

Here are NY Historical Society drawings on loan to the LOC

That looks like an Alfred Waud sketch.

I found Images from the Storm, a book of drawings by Union Pvt. Robert Know Sneden to be just excellent.

One of my favorite Harper's; http://www.sonofthesouth.net/leefoundation/civil-war/1862/civil-war-christmas.htm
The front page work on this should be easy to identify.

Ranking as one of my favorite books is "The American Heritage Century Collection of Civil War Art" which is the complete collection of artworks from the "Battles and Leaders" series with drawings and sketches from all the leading artists and correspondents of the time. Superb book.

Thanks for reference to the American Heritage book on Civil War Art. One of America's greatest Artist, Winslow Homer, got his start in the Civil War. He was "Special Artist" for Harper's Weekly. Harper's sent him to sketch Abraham Lincoln's inauguration, George B. McClellan's army on the Banks of the Potomac in Oct. 1861, and to cover the Peninsular Campaign in 1862.. His illustrations depicting battles and camp scenes appeared in Harpers throughout the war years.

He later translated his drawings into canvases such as the "Yankee Sharpshooter" and "Prisoners at the Front".

Yes, excellent! Winslow Homer is my favorite American painter.

I get an error message when I click on that link.

On the page in my link provided here is a drawing of men and women boarding the boat in Montgomery in a heavy rain. One or two of them are schlepping huge boxes. I wonder if......NAH!!
