Alfred Waud was one of the most important illustrators of nineteenth-century America. At the beginning of the War Waud was field artist for the New York Illustrated News. He moved to Harper's Weekly in early 1862 and continued his work for Harper's through the rest of the War, generally with the Army of the Potomac campaigns.
