Agustina Zaragoza Doménech (1786-1857). Heroine of the Peninsular War (1808-1814), during the first siege of Saragossa. Known as Agustina of Aragon. She fought against the French troops in the defence of the bastion of Portillo, in Saragossa. Agustina de Aragón contributed to the defence by encouraging the artillerymen and bringing them ammunition and food. The corporal in command of the Portillo artillery battery was wounded, as were the rest of the soldiers at the position. As the battery was exposed to be captured by the French, Agustina fired using one of the cannons. Some wounded artillerymen were able to help her while reinforcements arrived, keeping the position and forcing the enemy to retreat. 2 July 1808. Los guerrilleros de 1808.

South Carolinas ultimatum by Currier & Ives 1861. In late December 1860 three commissioners from the newly seceded state of South Carolina met with lame-duck President Buchanan to negotiate for possession of Fort Sumter, a federal installation in Charleston Harbour. Buchanans attempts to stay the situation and South Carolina governor Francis Pickenss insistence on Union evacuation of the fort are ridiculed here. Pickens (left) holds a lit fuse to a giant Union cannon Peacemaker, which is pointed at his own abdomen. He threatens, Mr. President, if you dont surrender that fort at once, Ill be blowed if I dont fire. Buchanan (right) throws up his hands in alarm and cries, Oh dont! Governor Pickens, dont fire! till I get out of office. In the background a steamer makes its way across Charleston Harbour toward Fort Sumter. The print probably appeared early in 1861, amid mounting tensions over the fate of the fort and uneasy relations between Washington and South Carolina.
