Chromolithograph, Copyrighted 1891, "Battle of Stone River, near Murfreesborough, Tenn."
01
Artifact Overview
This chromolithograph was printed by Chicago publisher Kurz and Allison almost 30 years after the Civil War. It was not intended to document history -- in reality, the Battle of Stones River was tactically inconclusive and resulted in unprecedented casualties on both sides. Rather, Kurz and Allison expected this idealized depiction to draw on patriotic sentiment among veterans.
