EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, captured between 1880 and 1897 by renowned American photographer William H. Jackson, offers a hauntingly beautiful glimpse into the past at Vicksburg National Cemetery in Mississippi, United States. Located on a terrace overlooking the Mississippi River, the cemetery is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the American Civil War. Established in 1866, the cemetery is the final resting place for over 17,000 Union and Confederate soldiers who perished during the Siege of Vicksburg in 1863. The image, taken during the late 19th century, captures the serene landscape of the cemetery, with its rows of trees and gravestones, creating a sense of tranquility amidst the history and heritage that lies within. The photograph, which measures 8 x 10 inches and was taken using a dry plate negative glass process, is a testament to the skill and artistry of Jackson, who was known for his meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the essence of his subjects. The image is now part of the collections of the Library of Congress, making it an invaluable resource for historians and enthusiasts alike. The cemetery, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, continues to be a popular tourist destination and a reminder of the rich history and heritage of the United States. The photograph, with its timeless beauty and historical significance, serves as a powerful reminder of the past and the sacrifices made in the name of freedom and unity.
