Summary

Description
English: Engraving from William G. Brownlow's Sketches of the Rise, Progress, and Decline of Secession, showing the condemned prisoner Harrison Self bidding farewell to his daughter (left) at the jail in Knoxville, Tennessee, USA, in December 1861. Self, a Union supporter, had been convicted of conspiring to burn railroad bridges in Confederate-occupied East Tennessee at the outbreak of the Civil War. Self was later pardoned by Confederate President Jefferson Davis just hours before his scheduled execution. Parson Brownlow, arms folded, looks on.
