| Alfred R. Waud. Mustered Out. Little Rock, Arkansas, April 20, 1865. |
This drawing by Alfred Waud shows the
return of the African American Soldiers and the joyful reception by their
families. It is such a happy drawing, and it brought tears to my eyes. One can
only imagine how wonderful happy returns like this one must have been, and how
incredible it must have felt for the soldiers after such a horrific war, and to
the families who also had to endure in a different way. And to think of the
significant impact this war had for these communities, it makes the drawing
even more profound.
