To the streets of old city philadelphia and imagine what life was like under british rule. One of the big agendas of the event is to present the fall of 1777 in a complicated way to show that for many of the people that remained in the city that winter this was an occupation and maybe a liberation from many of their perspectives and they wrote about in the period being liberated from the ash trar congress which is maybe something we can all aspire to some day.

There is a big difference between an editorial cartooning and a regular one. It is meant to be visual commentary. So i think people sometimes do not know that. I have a lot of people tell me or ask me, why arent you more fair . That is not what an editorial cartoon is. It is like a column. Columnists have a point of view. We just dont with images. Brian when did you develop your point of view . Ann my early 20s. I was not interested in politics until later on. So, that is pretty much when i started doing cartoons that reflected my point of view on issues. Brian how would you describe your point of view . Ann i am liberal. People confuse us sometimes.

I cant remember when i first saw the picture, and i certainly did not know where cold harbor was at the time. Im sure i thought it was a port town somewhere in virginia. I may not remember in which book i first saw the photograph, but i know that immediately and lastingly linked the words cold harbor and death in my mind. In subsequent years, i came to read more about the events of the spring of 1864 that culminated at cold harbor, that deadly slog from the rapid ann to the james that saw the u. S. Suffer 50,000 casualties, in the confederacy, another 30,000plus, the bloodiest six weeks of the war. I learned of the thousands who fell in the Early Morning on june 3rd. And i do know that there are differing schools of thought about what that number was. I learned that ulysses s.
