Additional Information
Published during a period of rebuilding and growth, Tennessee’s State Capital of Nashville has a rich history, unique culture, and this depiction offers a window into its development and evolution. In the decade following the conclusion of the Civil War, Nashville experienced a population boom as a robust local economy expanded due to increased manufacturing jobs, a busy inland port on the Cumberland River, and the number of residents grew exponentially in the latter parts of the nineteenth century. The city had been the site of a bloody clash between Union and Confederate forces in 1862 and was controlled by the Union until the end of the war in 1865. Another significant Confederate loss occurred in 1864 with the defeat of Confederate General Hood in what would become a turning point in the conflict.
Compiled by Massachusetts-born Wilbur F. Fisk, who had relocated to the city in 1851 at the age of seventeen to begin his career as a surveyor and cartographer. Nashville was charted in 1806 and became a political, commercial, and financial center of Tennessee, given its central location and proximity to a major waterway. Nashville became the permanent State Capital in 1843, with the capital building being completed in 1859.
Citizens throughout the south flocked to Nashville both during the Civil War and in the decades following as jobs were plentiful and it was safer than the surrounding countryside. The distinctive aesthetic and minimal style immediately transports the viewer back in time, creating an indelible bond.
