I thought you were identifying the men in the print. Thanks for clarifying.

Ah! Apologies. I *think* the unit portrayed in the Kurtz & Allison print is the 13th USCT, who assaulted the Confederate works atop Peach Orchard Hill on December 16, 1864 alongside the 12th and 100th. The 13th suffered an estimated 40% loss during their attack.

I'm currently reviewing music, art, poetry for a lesson on arts connection to the Civil Rights Movement.

This song is playing on another tab as I type this... so it's not exactly an image, but it is #BlackHistoryMonth and it does bring a smile to my face so...
