Many thanks guys and for the like votes. BTW, the flag is from the Flag Dude.

I will always remember attending the centennial re-enactment in 1961 as a kid. That kindled my life long interest in the ACW.

There was some claim that when Bee said "there stands Jackson like a stonewall" he meant it as a criticism. It's funny now, but I used to live near the Manassas battlefield and often walked around for exercise. They have these push button audio clips that you can play with very dramatic and often phony southern accents to depict the Rebs. One of which says the famous Bee quote. You could push the button and hear him drawl it out like Senator Tankerbill from Mr. Show.

DS Freeman gives a good account of the controversy in an Appendix to Vol 1 of Lee's Lieutenants.

BTW, the Troiani painting is of the advance of the 4th Alabama, not it's retreat. But the picture serves well in either case I think. Chris

Many thanks gentlemen. Buster, the base is by Ken Olsen, I was lucky to get this. It's the base for most of my dios.

George, very much appreciate the comments. I have a few more coming as I collect the figs to reflect Troiani's work. I remember UK Reb replicating the paintings/prints. Though not comparing my work to Bob's. Chris

I was looking at this thread I posted and noticed I failed to include the Don Troiani painting. Embarrassing. Chris
