Dead Horses in American History (XVI)

Given how often the Dead Horses in American History series comes up in comments, the only conclusion I can make is that there’s a huge demand for more dead horse images. And if there’s one thing in the world I care about, it’s making the masses like me. So in that vein:

Alfred Waud drawing of dead horse during the Civil War. This image is actually a gift to the Library of Congress from J.P. Morgan. Perhaps this gift is the least loathsome thing the evil man did in his entire worthless life.
