Additional Details

Depicts a skirmish in the woods during the Battle of Glendale, part of McClellan's failed offensive on Richmond. In the article which accompanied the published engraving, Waud wrote "A majority of the battles so far have been of this description, usually termed bushwhacking--very deadly, but hardly affording a chance for a display of tactics. For the rest, the picture describes itself, and gives a good idea of what our soldiers have to stand up to in the Virginia swamps and woods." Provenance: Collected by Lieutenant General Milton Medenbach (1907-2007), and purchased by the consignor at his estate sale in 2007. See also lots 73-76, 161, and 239, which share this provenance. with---the page of Harper's Weekly featuring the engraving of this sketch, 9 August 1862.
