  • The British Surrender Their Armies to General Washington After Their Defeat at Your Town in Virginia, Octorber 1781
    Library of Congress Figure 1: The British surrender their Armies to General Washington after their defeat at Your Town in Virginia, Octorber 1781. 48 ARLINGTON 1-IISTORICA L MAGAZINE The Arlington House Engravings of the British Surrender at Yorktown: Too Often Overlooked? BY DEAN A. DEROSA In the morning room and in the second-floor hall ofArlington House, The Robert E. Lee Memorial (the US National Park Service historical site on the grounds ofArlington National Cemetery), hang two framed engravings, entitled "The British Surrendering their Arms to Gen. Washington after their Defeat at Yorktown in Virginia, October 1781." The two art pieces, first published in 1819, are drawn by John Francis Renault and engraved by Tanner, Vallance, Kearny & Co. The morning room engraving is in color, while the second floor engraving is inscribed in black ink (Figure 1). The caption at the base of the two engravings reads, "To the defenders of American independence, this print is most respectfully inscribed by their fellow citizen, Jn. Fcis. Renault, assistant secretary to the Count de Grass, and engineer to the French Army, at the siege of York." Thus, the twin engravings are drawn by a participant in the Siege of Yorktown, if not also a witness to the historic British surrender and subsequent surrender ceremony, which for all intents and purposes ended major hostilities during the American Revolution. The allegorical background of the engravings depicts not only the field upon which the British, Continental, and French armies stood during the sur­ render ceremony, but also a number of classical images and symbols of human discord, victory, and liberty, described in an 1804 prospectus apparently in reference to an early, circa 1810-1815 version of the Renault drawing (Figure 2) upon which the published engraving would eventually be based, that are largely lost upon us today.

  • George Washington Nelson Katarina Wonders
    Prisoner of War: George Washington Nelson Katarina Wonders George Washington Nelson, affectionately known as Wash, was the nephew of Long Branch Plantation owners Hugh M. and Adelaide Nelson, a University of Virginia alumnus, and a Captain in the Confederate Army. Additionally, he was also one of many men captured and imprisoned during the Civil War. George and his companion Thomas Randolph were captured by Union soldiers on October 26th, 1863 in Millwood, VA while eating dinner.1 This domestic capture was the first of many oddities during George’s time as a Prisoner of War, since most soldiers were typically captured during, or as a result of, battle. George’s experiences as a POW demonstrate the common sufferings of men in Union prisons, while also allowing for a unique comparison between locations, as most prisoners did not move around nearly as much as George. Recounting his experiences as a POW, George wrote a brief narrative just over 10 years after his exchange on June 13th, 1865. The first night of his imprisonment was spent at Nineveh, Virginia under Captain Bailey. Wash makes a special note to credit Bailey for his immense kindness during their short period of time together. In Nineveh, the Captain lent George his gloves, and in Strasburg the next evening, Bailey gave the men a “first-rate supper” and tobacco before handing them off to the next set of Union men in Harper’s Ferry.2 The night spent in the “John Brown Engine House” was the first of Wash’s experience in a Union prison. He describes it as having “no beds, no seats, and the floor and walls were alive with lice.”3 After that night, the men were sent to Wheeling, West Virginia, where they found relatively nicer living conditions, but were soon sent to Camp Chase in Ohio only two or three nights later.
