EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enigmatic figure of Thomas Ewing Jr. , a prominent 19th-century politician, lawyer, and Union Army soldier. The image showcases his distinguished appearance with a full beard that adds to his authoritative presence. Ewing's notable achievements are highlighted in this portrait. He served as a delegate to the Peace Convention held in Washington D. C. in 1861, during a tumultuous period in American history. As the first chief justice of Kansas and colonel of the 11th Kansas Infantry, he played significant roles both on the judicial bench and on the battlefield. Tragically, Ewing met an untimely end when he was struck by a New York City omnibus. This unexpected event cut short his promising career as a lawmaker and trustee of Ohio Soldiers and Sailors Orphans Home. The photographer behind this remarkable image remains unknown but has masterfully captured Ewing's commanding presence through their lens. Preserved within glass negatives from 1860-1880 at the Library of Congress' Brady Handy Collection, this photograph offers us an intimate glimpse into America's past. As we admire this historic artifact, let us remember Thomas Ewing Jr. 's contributions to our country - not only as a military officer but also as a dedicated public servant who fought for justice and cared for those affected by war.
