"How the Daughters of Maryland Received the Sons of the North as they Marched Against the Confederate Invaders -- Scene in March."
This woodcut, published in Frank Leslie's Illustrated History of the Civil War, depicts Baltimore's ladies providing food and drink to Federal troops prior to the Antietam campaign in the fall of 1862. This image is a sharp contrast to those of the defiant Baltimore rebel ladies who were known for taunting Union troops. |
