Rebel barbarities in Texas--from sketches by Fred. Sumner
- Title: Rebel barbarities in Texas--from sketches by Fred. Sumner / Harley, del.
- Creator(s): Sumner, Frederick, artist
- Date Created/Published: [New York : s.n., c1864]
- Medium: 1 print on wove paper : wood engraving with letterpress text ; image 38 x 52.2 cm.
- Summary: The print was published with the following text (trimmed from the Library's impression): Our series of views, illustrating the barbarities of the Confederates in Texas, are from sketches by Mr. Frederick Sumner, himself a victim of their cruelty and oppression. Mr. Sumner was a leader among the union men at Sherman, Grayson County, and when the troubles began these braveloyal men defied the secessionists and kept a fine Americanflag, presented by Mr. Sumner, floating over their Court House. After the war opened the case of the Union men began to growdesperate. Twiggs had betrayed the United States troops intothe hands of the Confederates, and but little hope remained ofimmediate help from the government. The murder of Mrs. Hillier showed them what was coming. Her husband had been brought before the Vigilance Committee of Clark County, and ordered to enlist or prepare to be hung; but though he submitted, an incautious word of his wife led to her arrest. Six of the Vigilance Committee, dressed in women's clothes, went to her house, dragged her out to the nearest tree and, regardless of her cries for mercy and deaf to the pleadings of her children, hung her. The individual vignettes (clockwise from upper left) have keyed titles below: the hanging of Mrs. Hillier by men in disguise; (large central scene) the hanging of thirty Union men; bringing in Union men; hanging and flogging; prison in Little Rock; (across the bottom) cages of Little Rock Penitentiary; and "the stocks." The central scene, the hanging of thirty Union prisoners, appears in the smoke of torches which appear at bottom center, bound together with whips, chains, and other instruments of torture. The print probably appeared in the spring of 1864, since the Library's impression was deposited for copyright on April 25. The title on this impression is in letterpress on a pasted-on label. The print was also published under the title "Confederate Barbarities in Texas.

Please use the following steps to determine whether you need to fill out a call slip in the Prints and Photographs Reading Room to view the original item(s). In some cases, a surrogate (substitute image) is available, often in the form of a digital image, a copy print, or microfilm.
-
Is the item digitized? (A thumbnail (small) image will
be visible on the left.)
-
Yes, the item is digitized. Please use the digital image in preference to requesting the original. All images can be viewed at a large size when you are in any reading room at the Library of Congress. In some cases, only thumbnail (small) images are available when you are outside the Library of Congress because the item is rights restricted or has not been evaluated for rights restrictions.
As a preservation measure, we generally do not serve an original item when a digital image is available. If you have a compelling reason to see the original, consult with a reference librarian. (Sometimes, the original is simply too fragile to serve. For example, glass and film photographic negatives are particularly subject to damage. They are also easier to see online where they are presented as positive images.)
-
No, the item is not digitized. Please go to #2.
-
-
Do the Access Advisory or Call Number fields above indicate that
a non-digital surrogate exists, such as microfilm or copy prints?
-
Yes, another surrogate exists. Reference staff can direct you to this surrogate.
-
No, another surrogate does not exist. Please go to #3.
-
-
If you do not see a thumbnail image or a reference to another surrogate, please fill out a call slip in the Prints and Photographs Reading Room. In many cases, the originals can be served in a few minutes. Other materials require appointments for later the same day or in the future. Reference staff can advise you in both how to fill out a call slip and when the item can be served.
To contact Reference staff in the Prints and Photographs Reading Room, please use our Ask A Librarian service or call the reading room between 8:30 and 5:00 at 202-707-6394, and Press 3.
