ACW - Defensive Withdrawal (1 Viewer)

[mestell]

This morning I have been arranging the new stone and wooden split rail worm (zig zag) fence sections (Hudson & Allen #2012) on my 4' x 8' diorama play table. These sections are really nicely done, each 11" long - purchased 3 sections at the OTSN show.

IRON BRIGADE​

July 1, 1863 Gettysburg, PA​

With the Federal units around them collapsing under the weight of the oncoming Confederates, and being heavily pressured themselves by Pettigrew's Division, the Iron Brigade was ordered to fall back and regroup at the Seminary on Seminary Ridge. Giving their ground grudgingly, their withdrawal from McPhearson's Ridge was orderly and determined.

Walt, in the first three photos the backdrop is a photograph of gettysburg taken by Ken and Ericka Osen (Hudson & Allen). They had multiples of this print made using clay pigmentation (won't fade) and mounted on acid free archival foam board. Its 20" x 32" (I got this at the OTSN show also).

In the last photo, the backdrop is one that I painted myself of the Shenandoah Valley with the Blue Ridge Mountains - its 24" x 48"
