During the Civil War, Winslow Homer was a freelance artist for "Harper's Weekly," a leading news magazine of the day. This site examines Homer's work, which documents the lives of the soldiers who fought for the North. Includes an overview of the artist's just-budding career as well as a portfolio of his Civil War sketches of campsites, drills, soldiers on the march, gun crews, camp musicians, the wounded, and more. A good resource for exploring primary sources related to the war and for considering the interplay of the arts and social studies.
