Thanksgiving Day in the Army - After Dinner: The Wish-Bone (from "Harper's Weekly," Vol. VIII) December 3, 1864 After Winslow Homer American Homers image of Union soldiers breaking a wishbone in camp after a Thanksgiving meal in 1864 conveys the hope that the Civil War might be drawing to a close. Indeed, within four months the Confederate capital of Richmond would fall and General Robert　E. Lee would surrender. Superficially naturalistic, the scene is filled with objects that can be read symbolically: war drums are stacked peaceably in the background, and soldiers rest, smoke, and play, the only visible weapon a sheathed sword. The centrality of a simple game associated with a shared family feast suggests where the soldiers thoughts are focused. By this date Homer was devoting himself primarily to painting, and the solemn, monumental figures here reflect his compositions in oil..
