EDITORS COMMENTS
CIVIL WAR: NAPPING, 1862. Lieutenant Colonel Samuel W. Owen of the 3rd Pennsylvania Cavalry finds a moment of respite amidst the chaos and exhaustion of war. In this peaceful photograph captured by Alexander Gardner in August 1862 at Westover Landing, Virginia, we see Lt. Col. Owen taking a well-deserved nap. The weariness on his face tells a story of long days and sleepless nights spent fighting for his country's cause. As he rests inside his tent, surrounded by the rugged exterior of the Southeastern landscape, Lt. Col. Owen embodies both vulnerability and strength. Gardner's lens captures not only the physical fatigue but also an intimate glimpse into the human side of war – reminding us that even soldiers need moments to recharge their spirits amid battlefields. This stereograph print from Granger Art on Demand transports us back to a time when America was torn apart by conflict but still found solace in simple acts like sleep. Lt. Col. Owen's nap becomes symbolic; it represents resilience in times of adversity and serves as a reminder that even during dark chapters in history, there is always room for peace and rest.
