EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the brave and determined spirit of Private Francis E. Brownell, a soldier from the 11th New York Infantry during the American Civil War. Known as the Fire Zouaves, this group of infantrymen were renowned for their courage on the battlefield. In this portrait, Private Brownell stands proudly in his military uniform, holding a bayonet-tipped rifle with confidence. His full-length pose exudes strength and resilience, symbolizing his commitment to serving his country as a loyal Unionist soldier. What sets Private Brownell apart is his heroic act that earned him recognition during the war. He distinguished himself by bravely killing James W. Jackson, who had assassinated Union Army Colonel Elmer Ellsworth. This courageous act showcased not only Private Brownell's dedication to protecting his fellow soldiers but also his unwavering loyalty to preserving the unity of the nation. Captured by an anonymous American photographer from the 19th century, this image now resides in a private collection but remains accessible for public appreciation thanks to Peter Newark Military Pictures. As we gaze upon this historic photograph today, we are reminded of those valiant individuals like Private Francis E. Brownell who selflessly fought for their beliefs and made significant contributions during one of America's most challenging periods - The Civil War.
