This picture has been reproduced from the original made by Frank Leslie's corp of was artists. This picture was drawn and engraved directly from sketches made on the scene of battle by the most famous artists of the time, and can therefore be relied upon as absolutely accurate. They are really the most authentic Civil War Illustrations that have ever been publiished. Nothing recalls the past so forcibly as pictures of the scenes taken at the time and on the very spot. |
