And, there's also a photograph of the painting titled "The Peacemakers." What a momentous discussion that must have been. With the military officers talking military tactics to defeat General Lee and President Lincoln making reference to the "effusion" of blood on both sides. The Peacemakers, by G.P.A. Healy, 1868. Seated in the after cabin of the Union steamer River Queen are Maj. Gen. William T. Sherman, Lt. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant, President Abraham Lincoln, and Rear Adm. David D. Porter. The four met in March 1865, less than a week before the fall of Petersburg, Virginia. "So very difficult a matter is it to trace and find out the truth of anything by history." -- Plutarch |
