The Art of War: Civil War Sketch Artist Theodore Davis
Historian and author Bill Howard explores the life and works of Theodore Davis, an artist who illustrated the Civil War for the newspaper Harper’s Weekly. Although lesser known than his counterpart Winslow Homer, Davis was one of the most prolific artists to appear in the pages of Harper's and perhaps experienced firsthand the totality of the war more than any other person, from Charleston and the firing on Fort Sumter, to McClellan's Peninsula Campaign, and then on with Sherman's men on their famous march to the sea.
