This new national spirit manifest itself in grass roots democracy. Bingham's narrative paintings instilled a powerful sense of national identity with the frontier and its people, coupled with a freshness and vitality not seen in any earlier work.

Brown, the Union Volunteer Refreshment Saloon provided food, drink, rest, and supplies to Union troops passing through Philadelphia, a vital rail and steamer hub. Unlike the later Sanitary Fairs that aided wounded soldiers, this early effort focused on the needs of healthy new recruits. By September 1861, a hospital wing was added to care for sick and wounded troops. For four years, the Saloon operated through generous donations of food, clothing, and cash, later supplemented by admission fees to view the captured Confederate naval ram in 1863. The Saloon closed in late 1865, having served countless soldiers during the war.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e James Fuller Queen apprenticed in lithographic draftsmanship and went on to produce an extraordinary body of work for Philadelphia's leading printing houses, including Wagner \u0026amp; McGuigan, Thomas Sinclair, and P.
