Near Andersonville: Winslow Homer's Civil War

Peter H. Wood, Professor Emeritus of History, Duke University

In 1866, the great American artist Winslow Homer created an unusual picture linking Georgia's infamous Andersonville POW camp to the black struggle for freedom, but the painting of an enslaved woman vanished for a full century. Dr. Wood, the first scholar to explore it closely, suggests that Homer's image provides a striking new way for Americans to view the Civil War, and ourselves, in the twenty-first century.
