Edwin Forbes & his Civil War

 Salvete Omnes,




a short entry but lots of equestrian, military art -  the American Civil War, especially the Union cavalry et al., as seen by an eye-witness who was an artist too.



from the book Thirty years after: an artist's story of the great war - by our American artist Edwin Forbes -1839-1895 (archive library).

As he wrote in his book - he rode his mare Kitty.




from future POTUS and war victorious general Ulysses S. Grant to a cavalry skirmisher, cavalry artillery, wagon train and supplies etc in these prints































enjoy

Valete
