Accession: 1882.1.6 || //Wounded to the Rear, One More Shot// was the most successful of John Rogers’s Civil War groups, which continued to sell long after the war ended. General Joseph R. Hawley, who received a plaster copy in 1868, commented that “nothing relating to the war in painting or sculpture surpasses //One Shot More//.” It depicts two injured Union soldiers, one of whom is preparing to fire a final shot at the enemy.
