Few scenes from the Gettysburg aftermath feel as intimate as a wounded soldier tended in a farmhouse parlor, rendered here as an engraving. By July 3, 1863, the fighting had moved away from the farm fields and ridges, and the town and surrounding homes had become makeshift hospitals for the thousands of Union and Confederate wounded. Parlors that once held family furniture and Sunday visitors were cleared for cots, and civilians, surgeons and nurses worked side by side to clean and bind wounds. Engravings like this one, reproduced for newspapers and illustrated weeklies, helped readers far from Pennsylvania picture the cost of the battle.
