The Battle of Santa Rosa Island on October 9, 1861, was a failed Confederate attempt to capture Union-held Fort Pickens in Florida, resulting in a Confederate retreat after initial success at a Union camp. Confederate forces, under Brigadier General R. H. Anderson, landed on the island and routed the Union's 6th New York Volunteers but were forced to withdraw under fire from Union reinforcements and Fort Pickens. The Union maintained control of the strategically important fort, a significant stronghold throughout the Civil War.
Harper's Pictorial History of the Civil War is a two volume anthology, published in 1866 and 1868, that served as a contemporaneous, illustrated record of the American Civil War, comprising articles, engravings, and maps. It was intended to present a pro-Union narrative of the war's events.
