Hand colored lithograph published by Currier & Ives at 152 Nassau Street, New York. Caption under title says: "Between the Federal troops under Genl. Grant and the combined Rebel forces, under Genls. Van Dorn, Price, and Lovell; the Rebels were utterly defeated and driven from the field, throwing away their arms and accoutrements and every thing that could impede their flight." Five wounded or dead, but bloodless, Union soldiers, dressed in blue uniforms, dominates the foreground. Middle and background shows seemingly endless rows of Union and Confederate soliders meeting in combat, Confederates on the left, Union soldiers on the right. A Union drummer boy, with a red drum, marches behind the troops. Paper discoloration from matting as well as water damage. Lithograph is mounted.
