Hello, and thanks for looking at our auction. This is a beautiful Mort Kunstler (approx 10x13) print framed in a brand new double wood frame. The piece is entitled 'Gen. Stonewall Jackson Enters Winchester, VA' and was painted in 2005. "Mort Kunstler is the foremost Civil War artist of our time - if not of all time. To study his paintings is to simply see history alive" - Dr. James Robertson (Civil War Historian) Here is some information about the painting. Winchester, VA, May 25, 1862. As General George McClellan's Union Army struck toward Richmond, Union General Nathaniel Banks and his fifteen thousand troops struck southward into the Shenandoah Valley. For "Stonewall" Jackson and his small force, it was imperative that Banks not be allowed to leave the valley to join McClellan. Beginning in March 1862, Jackson, defeated at Kernstown, rebounded in a series of battles up and down the Shenandoah. On the morning of May 25, he struck at Winchester. Jackson's troops stormed through Union defenses, sending them reeling through town. Riding at the head of his column, Jackson entered Winchester triumphantly as Banks and his staff scurried out the other end. Townspeople ran into the streets to greet returning kinsfolk. It was Jackson's supreme moment of triumph in his Valley campaign. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate read more
