Description: The WolverinesBy Mark Maritato Signed by the Artist Overall Size 19" x 13" Image Size 17" x 11" As the battle of Gettysburg raged with the culmination of Pickett's massive infantry charge on July 3rd 1863, just three miles West of the Pennsylvania town, the thunder of hooves pounded the gentle farm fields as another struggle was played out simultaneously. Confederate cavalry under the command of General J.E.B. Stuart had just arrived in the area after a long foraging ride which left General Robert E. Lee without up-to-date intelligence on the movements of the Federal Army as his Confederate Army became entangled in a titanic struggle on the previous two days. After a stinging admonishment from Lee, Stuart was assigned the task of maneuvering around the Federal-right to attack the flank of the Union Army of the Potomac's position. The purpose of which was to threaten their supply-lines and communication. While in the process of executing Lee's order, Stuart's command collided with a Federal cavalry division commanded by David M. Gregg in a place today known as East Cavalry Field. A lengthy battle ensued as lines of mounted horsemen from both sides charged and counter-charged culminating in close quarter sabre-to-sabre combat. Leading the charge at the head of the 1st Michigan Cavalry Regiment of his all-Michigan cavalry brigade, Brigadier General George A. Custer drew his sword and urged the Michiganders forward with the cry "Come on, you Wolverines!" to counter Stuart's cavalry assault led by brigadier generals Fitzhugh Lee and Wade Hampton, as well as elements of John R. Chambliss. Custer is shown here, resplendent in his newly tailored uniform of black velveteen complete with gold trim, on his horse in the heat of the moment, followed just behind by Colonel Charles H. Town of the 1st Michigan Cavalry. This is an absolutely beautiful print on the finest quality Photo Paper with archival pigment-based inks and is very Impressive piece. Makes a great Gift for the History or Civil War Collector. NOTE: The image on this listing has been watermarked to prevent unauthorized use. The watermark will not appear on your actual print.
