Rare Original Currier & Ives Hand Colored Lithograph Depicting Civil War Battle

About the Item

Original hand colored stone lithograph by the famed 19th Century printing house of Currier & Ives This rare historical print depicts the Civil War Battle of Cedar Mountain, a major battle that took place in Virginia on August 9, 1862. The battle was won by the confederate army, and began the 1862 Northern Virginia Campaign by the Confederacy. Print is attractively matted and framed under glass. This antique print shows nicely with typical signs of age and wear including toning and minor creasing. This lithograph is an original and NOT a reproduction. Battle of Cedar Mountain Summary: Maj. Gen. John Pope was placed in command of the newly-constituted Army of Virginia on June 26th. Pope’s orders were to defend Washington DC and Union-held northern Virginia while the Army of the Potomac under Maj. Gen. George B. McClellan battled Robert E. Lee outside of Richmond. When McClellan was defeated at the end of the Seven Days battles less than a week later, Lee turned his attention north toward Pope while McClellan regrouped his army. Pope’s three army corps were arrayed in a line from the Blue Ridge Mountains to the Rappahannock River. Lee responded to Pope’s dispositions by dispatching Maj. Gen. Thomas J. “Stonewall” Jackson with 14,000 men to Gordonsville towards the center of Pope’s line. Jackson was later reinforced by Maj. Gen. A.P. Hill’s division. On August 6th, Pope marched his forces south into Culpeper County with the objective of capturing the rail junction at Gordonsville. On August 9th, Jackson and Maj. Gen. Nathaniel Banks’s Second Corps of Pope’s army tangled at Cedar Mountain with the Federals gaining an early advantage. A Confederate counterattack led by Hill on the Union right repulsed the Federals and won the day. Confederate Brig. Gen. Charles Winder was killed. The battle at Cedar Mountain shifted fighting in Virginia from the Peninsula to Northern Virginia, giving Lee the strategic initiative. Chronology: With the Peninsula Campaign coming to a close, Gen. Robert E. Lee sent 27,000 troops under Maj. Gens. Stonewall Jackson and A.P. Hill to attack Maj. Gen. John Pope’s new Federal Army of Virginia. Hoping to draw attention away from Maj. Gen. George McClellan’s withdrawal from the Peninsula, John Pope moved to take the strategic rail junction at Gordonsville, Va. With Stonewall Jackson’s command moving towards Maj. Gen. Nathaniel Banks’s isolated division, Pope ordered Brig. Gen. Franz Sigel’s division to unite with Banks’s forces on high ground near Cedar Run, seven miles south of the town of Culpeper. On August 9, Stonewall Jackson’s three divisions crossed the Rapidan River and approached Banks’s position. With the August temperatures soaring, the Confederates advanced their artillery to engage the Federal line. During the prolonged artillery duel, both Stonewall Jackson and Brig. Gen. Charles Winder participated in firing Confederate artillery pieces. Although it was called “the prettiest artillery duel ever witnessed during the war,” it had significant consequences when Charles Winder was struck by shell fragments around 5pm and died a few hours later. With few subordinates aware of Jackson’s battle plan, Winder’s loss produced a dangerous leadership vacuum just as a powerful Federal attack was beginning to unfold. At roughly 5:00 p.m., Nathaniel Banks launched two attacks against the Confederate positions. One column of Federal troops moved against Confederate forces near the Cedars while a second force advanced against the Rebel guns placed near the Crittenden Gate – one of the most prominent landmarks on the battlefield. Pressed by the Union advance, the Confederate guns and much of their infantry support pulled back from their positions at the Gate. With defeat in the air, Stonewall Jackson rode into the center of the fighting and attempted to draw his sword that was rusted within its scabbard. Undaunted, Jackson waved a battle flag and his scabbard-encased sword over his head as he worked to rally his forces. Reinvigorated by Jackson’s bravery, the Confederates launched a counterattack that drove back the Union wave. Banks’s troops, exhausted and nearly out of ammunition, steadily gave way under the relentless Rebel pressure. Meanwhile, on the Confederate left, Jackson had urged Brig. Gen. Lawrence O”Bryan Branch’s regiments to advance on the Union line. Branch’s soldiers collapsed the Federal right, as Confederate Maj. Gen. Richard Ewell’s division drove back the left. By 7:00 p.m., the Union line was in full retreat. After a mile and a half pursuit of the Federals, Stonewall Jackson ordered a halt as night set in. For two days after the battle, Jackson maintained his position south of Cedar Run, but the expected Federal counterattacks never came. Fearful of further setbacks, Union General-in-Chief Henry Halleck called off Pope’s advance on Gordonsville and surrendered the initiative to Lee and Jackson. With Pope now on the defensive, Robert E. Lee could unleash Jackson more broadly, and the 1862 Northern Virginia Campaign began in earnest.
