Surrounded by bluffs and the Shenandoah and Potomac Rivers, the landscape is magnificent. But when one enters the town and sees the preserved and restored buildings of the National Park you instantly are transported back to the past. When I learned that nothing had been painted of Harpers Ferry, I knew I would have to paint it. In searching through the history of the town, I found out that the capture of Harpers ferry by "Stonewall" Jackson on September 15, 1862 had the best possibilities. I wanted to paint the buildings of the town rather than some of the outlying scenic areas, and since Jacskon marched through the streets with an entourage that evening, I felt this was the perfect picture opportunity. I could paint one of my favorite personalities within the city and have an interesting lighting effect all in one painting. By looking up Shenandoah Street with Maryland Heights in the background, I was even able to incorporate the scenic bluffs. "Stonewall" is, naturally, the center of interest riding his favorite mount, "Little Sorrel." Riding closest to him, on the black horse to the left is Major W.J. Hawkes. Between them, further back and to the immediate left of Jackson, is Major D.B. Bridgeford. At the extreme left of the group is Lt. Col. W. Allan, Chief of Ordnance. The men lounging around in the streets are some of Jackson's infantry that occupied Harpers Ferry earlier that day. Jackson would leave early the next morning for Sharpsburg and that fateful, bloody day on the banks of the Antietam. |
