Here the focus falls on Confederate prisoners from Gen. James Longstreet's corps, shown marching toward the rear under Union guard after the fighting of July 3, 1863. Longstreet's divisions made up most of the assault on the Union center that afternoon, known as Pickett's Charge, and its failure left many Southern soldiers captured on the field. The scene reflects a common sight in the battle's aftermath, when large numbers of prisoners were moved away from the ridges and fields to holding areas farther north. The record credits the work only to the initials "E.F.," so the artist's identity remains unclear.
