EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting image captures the personal item of a soldier from the 16th Connecticut Volunteers, George Q Whitney, during the tumultuous time of the United States Civil War. The Soldier's housewife bears witness to the harsh realities faced by those who fought in one of America's bloodiest battles - Antietam.
The bullet hole visible on this cherished possession serves as a stark reminder of the dangers and sacrifices made by soldiers like George Q Whitney. It is a testament to the bravery and resilience displayed by those who served in the Union Army during this pivotal moment in history.
As we gaze upon this artifact at the Museum of Connecticut History in Hartford, CT., USA, we are transported back to a time when camp life was filled with uncertainty and fear. The dog tag attached to this housewife symbolizes not only George Q Whitney's identity but also his unwavering commitment to his cause.
The North American historical event known as the United States Civil War may have divided a nation, but it also brought out acts of heroism and camaraderie among those who fought for what they believed in. This print by Don Troiani is a powerful reminder of that turbulent period and honors all those who served during that challenging time.
