The Journal of the American Revolution chose haunting artwork to accompany the article I wrote, "1776--The Horror Show."
The art includes a heart-rending detail from a sketch of Continental personnel held prisoner on board the prison ship Jersey. The illustration is by John Trumbull of Connecticut, a state deeply affected by prisoner abuse in nearby British-occupied New York City.
The artist John Trumbull was the son of Connecticut Governor Jonathan Trumbull Sr and the first cousin of poet John Trumbull. Click these initials to visit the homepage of the JAR.
