EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print transports us back in time to the Savannah, Ga. vicinity during the final days of the American Civil War in December 1864. The image depicts Union soldiers from Sherman's troops, under the command of General William B. Hazen and Major Thomas W. Osborn, diligently removing ammunition from Fort McAllister using wheelbarrows. After a month-long march through Georgia, General William T. Sherman's Union forces reached the strategic Fort McAllister on December 13, 1864. Eight days later, they captured Savannah itself, marking a significant victory for the Union. In preparation for Sherman's further movement northward, the dismantling of Fort McAllister was ordered on December 24, 1864. This collection of seven views is limited to the former stronghold and its dismantling. The soldiers meticulously gathered the fort's guns, which were later stored at Fort Pulaski. The photograph provides a glimpse into the aftermath of the storming of Fort McAllister and the Union's efforts to secure their victory in the Savannah campaign. This photograph is an essential historical record of the War in the West, offering a unique perspective on the military tactics and operations during the American Civil War. The image captures the determination and hard work of the Union soldiers as they carried out their orders, ultimately contributing to the Union's eventual victory in the conflict.
