"And a Woman Mans a Cannon"
Margaret Cochran Corbin—the first woman buried with full military honors at West Point—was presented by #JacobLawrence as a commanding heroine in this panel from his series "Struggle: From the History of the American People," highlighting his interest in the role of women in American history.
Corbin fought with her cannoneer husband in the Battle of Fort Washington in what is now Upper Manhattan. Taking her husband’s place at the cannon, she fired bravely until wounded and captured.
Corbin later joined what was called the “Invalid Regiment” at West Point. She struggled as a disabled veteran, living most of her life in poverty.
Final week! Experience Lawrence’s multi-paneled series in “Jacob Lawrence: The American Struggle” on view through November 1.

[Image description: A curly haired woman stands before a bright blue canon in a long yellow dress with a revolver tucked in at her waist. By her feet, her slain husband lies covered in brown cloth, his figure recognizable by a lone arm that peeks out from under. In front of her, a line of soldiers crouch down and bear bayonets, poised to continue their fight.]
