[CIVIL WAR]. The Fort Pillow Massacre. Chicago: Kurz and Allison, 1892.
28 x 22 in. chromolithograph (brittle edges, some chipping, short tears).
A highly detailed depiction of the Fort Pillow Massacre, which occurred 12 April 1864 near the Mississippi River in Henning, TN. The battle ended with a massacre of surrendered Federal African American troops by Confederate soldiers under the command of Colonel Nathan Bedford Forrest. The incident was immediately investigated by the Joint Committee On the Conduct of the War, which concluded that the Confederates shot most of the garrison after it had surrendered.
