EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the homecoming of Mustered Out Colored volunteers at Little Rock, Arkansas. Published in Harpers Weekly in 1866, this engraving by Alfred Rudolph Waud showcases the joyous celebration and sense of accomplishment felt by these African American soldiers after their service during the American Civil War. In this image, we see men and women dressed proudly in their Union uniforms, symbolizing their loyalty to the United States. Bedrolls and kits are scattered around them, evidence of their journey back home from the battlefield. The smiles on their faces reflect a collective feeling of relief and triumph as they reunite with loved ones who eagerly await them. Children can be seen running alongside these brave soldiers, perhaps eager to hear stories about their heroic adventures or simply basking in the presence of those who fought for freedom. This engraving serves as a powerful reminder that people from all walks of life contributed to America's fight for unity and equality during one of its darkest periods. The historical significance of this image cannot be overstated. It highlights not only the courage and sacrifice demonstrated by colored soldiers but also challenges prevailing stereotypes about race at that time. As we admire this piece from Heritage Images' Historica Graphica Collection, let us remember those who paved the way towards progress while cherishing our shared heritage as Americans united under one flag.
