An attack on a baggage train, the wagons that carried an army's food, ammunition, and gear, was a scene that illustrators of military history often chose because it showed a force's vulnerability in motion. This watercolor was made for Century Magazine, a New York monthly that published richly illustrated fiction, travel pieces, and history, and its record dates the work only to between 1900 and 1934. The record does not name the artist, the conflict, or the location, so the scene is best read as a dramatic period image of a raid on a column's supply line.
