Wounded to the Rear / One More Shot
As Rogers described this work, "Two wounded soldiers have been ordered to the rear during a battle, but one of them is taking out a cartridge to load up again, determined to have one more shot before leaving." The sculptor displayed his mastery of storytelling while skillfully detailing the uniforms and accoutrements of the courageous Union infantrymen. Painted plaster groups of One More Shot went on sale in November 1864, and the subject immediately became one of the sculptor’s most popular, particularly with veterans of the Civil War and their families.
