Kurz & Allison made their reputation in the 1890s on prints like these depicting Civil War battles. While they were criticized for the lack of historical accuracy, they were more meant to tap into patriotic sentiment. Thirty-six scenes were published, drawn by Kurz who had served in the CW.

The Battle of Fort Sanders was the decisive engagement of the Knoxville Campaign of the American Civil War, fought in Knoxville, Tennessee, on November 29, 1863. Assaults by Confederate Lt. Gen. James Longstreet failed to break through the defensive lines of Union Maj. Gen. Ambrose Burnside, resulting in lopsided casualties, and the Siege of Knoxville entered its final days.
